Airship Website Refresh
Greetings Airship Team!
I’m James Cole, a graphic designer with the OpenStack Foundation. We’ve been working on an updated look for the Airship website and wanted to get your feedback.
Please view the updated site on Netlify: https://airship-website-dev.netlify.com/ https://airship-website-dev.netlify.com/
A few things to note:
The blog does not currently have any blog posts and we’d probably want to have something real published there before going live. If it isn’t possible to publish something before this launches, we can remove it from the navigation and add it back in once we have some content.
Any guidance is welcomed if links on the Community page need to point to other locations. The Gerrit repo link does not currently link to anything useful, for instance.
We’ve been considering adding a subhead under “Elevate Your Infrastructure” on the hero image of the homepage for clarity. One of the ideas we’re floating around is "Airship makes operating open infrastructure simple, repeatable, and resilient.” Does this sound good to you?
Please let us know if you notice something that should change—spelling/grammar errors, factual errors, broken links, etc.—or if you have any other type of feedback. Once everyone is happy with the content and layout we’ll point the official URL (airshipit.org http://airshipit.org/) to this version of the site.
Thank you!

Hi James,
This looks awesome!
Just some thoughts: it may be useful to have "Try it!" somewhere alongside "VIEW THE CODE" on the main page which would lead to "Airship in a bottle" docs, so newcomers can quickly find how to get it running.
On a blog page there is "CONNECT" section which seems to have some broken links: https://airship-website-dev.netlify.com/blog/
Thanks you!

Thanks for taking a look, Evgeny!
We currently have the Airship in a bottle link on the community page, but maybe there can be a place on the homepage for it too.
Good catch on the blog links—will update those.

Hey James, great work on this! Looks really nice – a couple items:
This may be on your todo list already, but – looks like the dev guide domain linked from the community page doesn’t resolve (yet): docs.airship.io, git.airship.io. What’s the planned distinction between airship.io and airshipit.org, or will one be an alias for the other?
Could we use this please for the IRC meeting link: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Airship#Get_in_Touch
I like the idea of adding the subheader blurb under “Elevate Your Infrastructure”.
Thanks! Matt

Hey Matt,
Sorry I missed this message for so long! I fixed those links on this last round of changes.
Also, I asked about your airship.io http://airship.io/ vs airshipit.org http://airshipit.org/ question and the summary is that everything should use airshipit.org http://airshipit.org/. As far as I know, only the docs exist at a .io address (https://airship-treasuremap.readthedocs.io/en/latest https://airship-treasuremap.readthedocs.io/en/latest for example) but the OpenStack Foundation does not own those pages.
