Firefox wouldn't be able to live in that spot - that's reserved for tabzilla 2.0 functionality

Jen Bertsch

I'm super interested in asking in user testing if the rotating "mozilla is...." word helps users understand more about what mozilla is/does

Jen Bertsch

I don't think we can include images with the events

Jen Bertsch

Open question for Mozilla folks: Do we need promotional areas on the homepage?

Jen Bertsch

Could we experiment with putting more dynamic content (like the social feed or the events) higher on the page?

Jen Bertsch

^In our upcoming user testing

I know I"m late on this feedback, but the Mozilla is.... approach doesn't work for me. It perpetuates our challenge about being hard to understand. I'd rather open with a statement. Some options: Mozilla exists to keep the Internet open, and put the power back in your hands. OR Mozilla brings people together to keep the Internet open for good. OR

I'd like the home page to feel more alive & dynamic, and reflect the breadth and depth of activity, big and small, around the world. This feels a bit redudant with the About Mozilla page.

Agreed that the top line message must be a big AND clear statement about our purpose in the world and then quick examples of the work and places to go. And, this page feels alot about us. I think that gets solved in the copy. I'm not sure that the social feed and events lives here. as it's almost too deep too quick for me.

Jen Bertsch

One thing Mary Ellen and I talked about when we discussed this sketch on Friday is something Mitchell says "We will know Mozilla is a success when there are so many people all of the world working in our name that we won't be able to keep track of them." So it is OK if the homepage is a little chaotic. I like MEM's idea of changing the "Mozilla is..." into a static sentence rather than a rotating word (althogh we could try both in user testing?).

Jen Bertsch

We also talked about shrinking the height of the "Mozilla is" section a bit to get to the pillars faster.

Again this so close to the main landing page. Feels like the main page needs to be these top line messages and the about page can be more granular. What we do can be more like "what we've done/impact" and the mozillians section is more about our participation and shared values of the community- open and free vs. closed and controlled.

so, content order should be 1)top line message, then what we make and have done/impact/do (i see a story about firefox's birth and continual distruption of closed systesm) , then community story then CTA. no "what we make" separate from waht we do.

Jen Bertsch

For launch we won't have detailed information about the sub pages (security, surveillance etc) so good to keep that part of the design modular/optional

Jen Bertsch

I like the optional blog content module

Brandon Arnold

Sub nav may not be long lasting.

Brandon Arnold

Won't have security, advertising, surveillance pages at launch

To reduce # of CTAs and things to do on this page, perhaps we can remove "Ways to get involved". Display ways you can take action within the issue blocks themselves. So in the Security block have primary CTA/button be a way you can take action. If they are not ready to take action, a "learn more" link would be below the Take Action CTA that would bring them to a campaign detail page to learn more.

Jen Bertsch

+1 to Holly's comment here

order of content looks right to me.

Brandon Arnold

Not sure if this screen is necessary, but mozilla will discuss internally.

Jen Bertsch

Mary Ellen and I discussed the page in more detail. We both agreed that while this issue page needs one strong CTA, it also needs to be a little more information heavy.

Jen Bertsch

We agree one strong CTA will do more to drive participation than multiple CTAs. Plus a typical issue will really only have one CTA. And the issues we work with are complicated, so need a more information-heavy template.

Jen Bertsch

This *Might* be an example of the amount of text needed to explain an issue https://act.eff.org/action/not-one-more-day-of-nsa-mass-spying-on-our-phone-records

Jen Bertsch

Just like we talked about brining the 1 or 2 of form fields for a "donate" CTA onto the mozilla.org page and then passing the info to the outside-hosted page, we could do the same for an advocacy CTA and pass email or phone number to our partner-hosted form with the petition or phone call script.

Jen Bertsch

Same notes about removing the "ways to get involved" section

Jen Bertsch

Note for all 3 landing pages: blog posts won't have associated images

On this page, I'd prefert to see the webmaker, mozfest, tips above the who's doing it- the Mozillians. so the logic is Mozill is educating- here' how (maker, mozfest tips) here's who's doing it. then the get involved.

again here would like to reverse the order of what we do in this space and the people examples. so the story is 1) Moz innovates 2) here's the stuff we're working on 3) here's how community is acting/endorsing. then get involved and sign up

Brandon Arnold

Add a banner for Firefox

Brandon Arnold

Not the specific Browser, but the firefox brand

Jen Bertsch

This one feels super busy to me.

Jen Bertsch

In the past, we have struggled with what the benefit of pledging to support the manifesto is to the person who makes the pledge.

Can this be done with our current style/layout? I'd like to see how you did this using our current homepage structure, which is fairly popular with the bold color tile grid.

I prefer the "Mozillianss voice" direction over the "Mozilla and You". That said, this still feels quite busy. The social shares don't seem valuable enough to warrant the space, and the CTA feels buried (and I'm not convinced the 'pledge' is the best CTA for landing page). I do like the top 3 sections, though.

Jen Bertsch

Love the what we do tiles and what we make circles

Jen Bertsch

I'm not sure I would prioritize the manifesto on the About page this much. I'd rather present it in a more accessible way.

+1 to the hierarchy. This helps to communicate that we are more than a browser. What we create stems from what we believe.

Jen Bertsch

This page definitely needs an explicit participation CTA

+1 on the above. The tiles over top of the clean background page could mirror the bold color feel of the current homepage look.

Jen Bertsch

I like the what we believe/what we do/what we make hierarchy

This page works for me (with an added CTA above the fold). I like the hierarchy.

Jen Bertsch

I'm curious to know from Dia if we have that much content around these things (the tiles at the top)

Brandon Arnold

Is advocacy education or participation.

Brandon Arnold

More participation, rather than than sharing.

Jen Bertsch

I would prioritize the person with the "i am a mozillian and i...." statement over the tiles.

Brandon Arnold

Learn, Donate (Heavier), Email Congress

Brandon Arnold

Email Address collection.

Again, liking bold color tile feel here. Our tiles give a community quilt feel which would be nice to retain if possible.

Things that we advocate for can be topical and change with current events.

Needs to be clear that the visitor can take action on some of these items. We shouldn't rely on the user clicking into these links to discover the fact that they can take action.

Brandon Arnold

Community Quilt as the grid squares

Jen Bertsch

Needs a more explicit participation CTA module higher on the page

Email signup should be front and center and 'donate' should be present. I'd also advocate for *one* action to be prominently highlighted.

I think the content in the top section could be feature what we've done so far, and our general position on the issue (tied to the manifesto) rather than a play-by-play of where the issue is at. The sands shift so quickly on some of these campagians due to surprise senate votes, new snowden revelations etc. We don't want to be in a position of having to contastantly update that content.

Jen Bertsch

I like the simplicity of this version.

Jen Bertsch

(well, of the top 4 sections)

Nice focus on Mozilla and what we do in the hierarchy w/ a grid at the bottom of the page that can have flexible content depending on what we want to feature.

I think this is a good simple approach too, while keeping the grid below. One concern would be THE DREADED FOLD and ctas down a good distance. TO BE CLEAR: I like this, but I know the fold will come up.

Top are of the page could also reflect a particular campaign, as long as it compliments/supports the Mozilla brand.

Brandon Arnold

User Tests: Would users give them their email.

Historical background: the grid was chosen as a great way to have multiple CTAs in view pre scroll near the top o the page. I'm fine with bumping it down, but we'd be throwing those CTAs to a lower priority in the layout.

Jen Bertsch

[sidenote: we need to not use the M in a circle for trademark reasons. We are phasing it out on the site.]

Jen Bertsch

Would like to explicitly mention the 4 pillars in the second section.

The top section isn't blowing my mind. If I'm visiting this page I likely want to learn more about Mozilla, so the 2nd section is far more helpful.

Nice to have email as an alternative option here... if other CTAs on page are too intimidating or user doesn't have time to interact with them now... an email is a nice way to contact later when they have tie.

Jen Bertsch

This hierarchy and the stories of Mozillians really resonates with me

Really like this page.

+1 to bringing Stories to this page. Currently they are within the "contribute / get involved" page which is where people go if they want to volunteer. It would be nice to allow users who don't necessarily intent to volunteer be able to discover these as well.

Jen Bertsch

CTA needs to be higher on the page

Jen Bertsch

Maybe Manifesto module instead of "I want to" module

Again, I don't love the top section. Would prefer to start with second section. I agree that CTA (email sign-up) and 'I want to' section need to be higher.

Clarifying that reason I don't love the top section is that it feels like a lot of *copy*. Feels like "blah blah PR" whereas the section section gives me immediate information about what Mozilla actually does.

Jen Bertsch

I do like the secondary nav

Jen Bertsch

I'm curious to know from Dia if this fits with her ideas of how to talk about advocacy

I like the hierarchy here. "We advocate because..." > this is what we advocate for > this is one thing you can take action on to help.

Jen Bertsch

CTA needs to be higher on the page

Jen Bertsch

How flexible would this be to pull in dynamic content like advocacy blog posts?

Jen Bertsch

The more I see the "pledge to support the manifesto

Jen Bertsch

module, the more open I am to it :)

If this is the advocacy landing page, email signup and take action should be the top 2 things. All the context can come below. (and donate should be on here somewhere).
