The current homepage of LongeCity has served as a very informative introduction to the site for a couple of years, however, several people have suggested a revamp. Something a little more simple. We have plenty of funds set aside for this type of project and I suggest we use some of it for a homepage redesign before the end of the LongeCity fiscal year (end of February 2016)

 

We also have the potential for adding some explanatory videos at the same time. See here and here.

 

As a starting point, please list a website or two that you find appealing/functional. If there is a common theme/look among the responses then we will go in that direction.

The point is to have a more eye-catching homepage. Of course, most people only go to the homepage a handful of times and then go straight to the forum, once they find the information and discussions they are looking for.

 

There is an old saying, "You never get a second chance to make a good first impression". As LongeCity grows and more people find it, it would be great to have an eye-catching, concise, clear homepage for when people first visit, something they will remember.

In particular we should have our funding of science featured more prominently. We have sponsored some "successful" research, and helped several students through university. These are awesome things that LongeCity done, we should all be proud, and these accomplishments should be more known.

The front page is a bit dull, I must agree on that. I too just go directly to the forum.
