[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-16115) New Cassandra website design,
content and layout to work with Antora
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16115?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17291840#comment-17291840 ]
Melissa Logan commented on CASSANDRA-16115:
-------------------------------------------
Cross post from ML:
We are excited to share the almost-complete Cassandra website design (CASSANDRA-16115). Huge thanks to Lorina Poland, Anthony Grosso, Mick Semb Weaver, Josh Levy, Chris Thornett, Diogenese Topper, and a few others who contributed to this effort.
Note: There are a few updates to be made prior to launch, but we wanted to share to get initial input and signoff to begin the final port to Antora.
To be completed:
* *Homepage:* The logos are placeholders -- they're being updated and resized (pulled from case studies page).
* *Docs* will be added once 4.0 documentation is complete. Design will match new site.
* *Case Studies* logos are being updated and resized, so ignore broken links.
If you have case studies or resources -- or community photos -- please reply to me and we'll add.

> This task is related to CASSANDRA-16066 (Update and rework the cassandra-website material to work with Antora). The goal is to update the front-end of the C* website (design, IA and content) to work with Antora to help modernize the website as discussed on the [mailing list|https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@cassandra.apache.org/msg15537.html].
> *Design Concepts:* A minimum of two homepage design concepts will be created and shared for input, which will help standardize a brand palette for C* and a design language for the site. This may include custom iconography and graphics. The chosen design language will be used to develop the remaining templates.
> *Template Design*: It's estimated that 7 template designs will be needed including the creation of several new pages:
> * Homepage template
> * Toplevel template - e.g. Community.
> * General template - Mostly textual with some images, e.g. Intro, Quickstart
> * “Library” template - A library of assets (links, downloads, logos etc) that are sortable by metadata, e.g Resources, or Kafka's Powered By page).
> * Blog landing template
> * Blog single template
> * Docs template
> *Website Content:* Along with new design will be a need for new or updated content to fit the new page layouts. The intention is to use as much as possible from existing content, and augment with new content where needed.
> *Template Development:* This includes the frontend development, such as any HTML markup to achieve designs. HTML would be crafted so as to preserve any backend/API calls, such that content is pulled in as designed. The majority of the frontend work would come in the form of crafting CSS to bring the designs to life, plus any minor Javascript to add subtle delights to key pages.
> *Style Guide*: Once all is complete, a Style Guide be added to GitHub for contributors.
> The [cassandra-website|https://github.com/apache/cassandra-website] repository would need to be modified. Specific changes to be determined.
