Problem:

The Docs front page has a lot of entries. It's not clear to visitors where they can find what they're looking for. And it's not clear to contributors where we should add new content when someone wants to add new docs sections to the front page.
For the application period, submit a pull request with your ideas for redesigning the front page. Include the reasoning behind decisions you made. The exact graphical style isn't important, so long as we can see the general concept represented. For reference, the page is in the fedora-docs/pages repository.

Flaws identified/ Ideas suggested:

1. According to UX Laws, “an aesthetically pleasing design creates a positive response in people’s brains and leads them to believe the design actually works better.” Good looking documentation would ensure that more users get started and involved with Fedora.
2. At the first glance, there’s no introduction to the website; users don’t know how to proceed or what they’re supposed to do. Information about Fedora Linux needs to be added in the main landing screen with a ‘read more’ button.
3. There’s no prominent search bar on the page which would improve user accessibility and reduce a lot of time spent on finding exactly what the user is looking for- using keywords or tags would also make the process of finding information seamless and structured.
4. Edit/Contribute icon is too small; needs to be big and clear for those who wish to contribute to adding new sections in the Docs
5. Heavy colour scheme, the aesthetics are awry and card colours are inconsistent too. There is no specific reason as to why certain cards are colored differently under the same heading, that needs to be sorted too.
6. No sense of hierarchy on the page, all items are sorted randomly- there should be a visual hierarchy of content structure. There should be a proper division of Fedora Linux variants and then cards underneath which leads to the documentation of specific variants. There is no division between topics and sub-topics as of now.
7. No interaction with the users- there’s no feedback or animation that lets the user know that their action is actually being executed in the webpage. It looks and feels like a static website.
8. Information is all over the place, a user would feel very overloaded with information the first time they view the page. Makes a user unlikely to actually go through the documentation and find what they are looking for.
9. Accessibility is important- most users will be put off by the crowded design of the page where the lack of structure makes it hard to determine the next steps- Lack of any white space or breathing room for the content.
10. Inclusivity in design is important- icons should be used with the content and there should be a Text-to-Speech option for those with visual impairments. Text-to-Speech icon can be added in the upper-right corner.
11. Dark mode is preferred by most users nowadays with big companies like Discord and VS Code shifting their interface entirely to dark mode to appeal to their user base. Also makes it easier on the eyes to read through loads of documentation. A toggle button for light to dark mode can also be added in the upper right corner.
12. Navigation panel in the documentation (left-side) needs to be more consistently designed with font size and colour making sense according to the hierarchy
13. No links in the footer- a user would like to scroll through the entire first page and then decided if they would wish to contribute or find different links. The footer can be made more informative and accessible by adding links to contribute and know more about the community.
14. A call-to-action button for contributing to Fedora with something written that makes it an appealing call for contributors but one that doesn’t seem like a lot of effort- “Want to contribute to a cause? – Get Involved!” There can be a banner section on the front page with the call-to-action button and text that catches the user’s eye and makes the page look appealing too.
15. Grid layout with proper sub-headings would make things look a lot cleaner than big crowded boxes that take up the whole space.
16. Colors would follow the two basic Fedora colours and the logo design so as to keep things minimalistic and clean and not overload the user.
