Copy for Redesign

Still a work in progress... [last update: 4/19/10]

Header:

Mozilla - About Us - Our Community - Our Projects - How to Contribute - [Search]

Hero area:

[JS thought: would be cool to have a few different beliefs that would be randomly served up so repeat visitors would see fresh stuff. We could draw on elements from the manifesto (rewritten, of course), general topics, or a combo of both. I wrote the text below with that in mind.]

We Believe

that you have the power to make the Internet better for everyone. Learn more.

that your online privacy shouldn't be an option with an on/off switch. Learn more.

that, as awesome as the Internet already is, we've only scratched the surface of how great it can be. Learn more.

etc etc

Other elements:

David's Scratchpad

Taking a pass at reducing redundant content and information that could go on other pages.

Primary Message

We are building a better Internet and you can help.

We’re a global community of thousands who believe in the power of technology to enrich people’s lives. More

We’re a public benefit organization dedicated to making the Internet better for everyone. More

Calls To Action

Mulitple CTAs (1 big spot with smaller spots or 1 spot that rotates?)

Possible example content for mockups:

• Lanakai beach page

• Drumbeat launch

• Mozilla Store (Maybe store should be permanent?)

Projects

Firefox® The world's best browser

Thunderbird® Safe, fast and easy email

See more projects button with SeaMonkey, Bugzilla, Camino, Sunbird and more logos?

This could be like the Mozilla Galaxy graphic where we show that there's a larger ecosystem that Firefox and Thunderbird are a part of.

Community Ticker

Expanded area that might not have a set number of slots but rather a space that can fill up as things come in and could even have some options for filtering (View discussions, websites, photos, etc.)

There could also be some static navigation here similar to the Looking for bar at the top of the current page that could direct you to certain sites or direct you to the community directory on mozilla.org.

News

Much smaller area that linked to the last three about:mozilla issues (the link could just be the date instead of the headline and some initial text like it is now).

Footer

Number of columns of links would go from 5 to 4 with the removal of Our Causes so the footer design might need to be reviewed (it will probably be reviewed anyway as part of a global IA element).
