Next community project is on the horizon - the relaunch of the django CMS website
With the formation of the django CMS Association last year, we have given the django CMS project a new boost. Now it's time that this new page in the book of the django CMS project is also reflected in a modern website.
For this project, we have outlined the following process (WIP):
Stage 1: Product positioning
- What is the goal of the website?
- Research best practices & competitors
- Collect feedback from the community
Stage 2: UX + wireframes
- Create sitemap
- Create wireframes
- Collect feedback from the community
Stage 3: Design
- Creation of the design based on the wireframes
Stage 4: Plugin architecture
- Define CMS plugin architecture - usually takes 1-4 hours, but has a huge impact on usability, and can be done by senior django cms developer
Stage 5: Implementation
- Strong involvment of the community
- Estimated time: 80-200h
For Stage 1, 2 and 4 we have already formed a small team that is going to work on these tasks. Stage 3 and 5 will need strong support from the community. Once we have reached the design phase (stage 3), we will start with a broader call to arms campaign to attract more contributors and supporters.
If you want to join the website relaunch group or just stay updated, please get in touch via our support channels.
