@lucpretti, fantastic initiative on integrating the DPG element on our homepage - it's a valuable addition! I've reviewed the proposed changes and have a couple of suggestions to further refine the design:

  1. OKF Logo Placement
    I'd try aligning it differently for a more cohesive look e.g.:
    Footer

  2. Differentiating Sections
    I noticed that the "CKAN is now DPG" and "Join our next webinar" sections seem to merge visually (in spite of the dividers. To enhance UX and make each section distinct, how about having a subtle background color for the "Join our next webinar" section (the whole container)? This could help in clearly demarcating the two sections, making the page more navigable and aesthetically pleasing.

@alexmorev love it! just a few quick adjustments:

Footer

  • title-body text spacing - decrease the space between the titles and body text with ½ (see the attached image for what I'm thinking)
  • spacing between blocks 6 and 7 - the gap here is larger than between blocks 5 and 6. let's cut it down a bit to keep it consistent
  • in blocks 6 and 7 - the space between the text and the CTAs (login, contact us) is too big. let's reduce it by ⅔?
  • OKF logo block - this needs to match the other logo block in height
  • typo fix -“we`are here to assist” should be “we are here to assist”

important: when making these changes, please ensure that the left text container aligns with the right one. the text in both columns should start and end at the same levels - the beginnings and endings should line up perfectly.

CKAN is now a Digital Public Good section

  • make the background grey-colored container full-width (it should stretch from edge to edge, without any padding)
  • the logo looks blurred - can we have it HQ?

@alexmorev will provide more input re footer but for now, can we quickly fix this:

  • text container should not be full width, it was fine before (just background container should be full width)
  • DPGA logo looks huge, can we decrease it by ~1/3?
