Homepage/Landing Page

[aneesh-neelam]

The homepage of the Web API requires some redesigning to make it look prettier. Currently, it looks like this.

As @biocross suggested, we need to put a "Share our App" function in our client apps, so that users can easily send a referral message and a link to the landing page of the API server, to their friends via messaging/email apps (OS Share function). The link is to the landing page where they can go to the respective Store page to download the app. @VinayGupta23: Please such a function under App Settings.

@ayushagarwal95, @biocross: This is your project. The only restriction is that it should work with the Jade Template Engine.

[VinayGupta23]

Okay, I'll get it done by the next update.

[ayushagarwal95]

The design needs to be done first.

[VinayGupta23]

Okay, so should I add the link for sharing later?

[aneesh-neelam]

@VinayGupta23: No, add it now. The landing page exists already, we just want to make it prettier, especially for mobile web browsers. The URL is https://vitacademics-rel.herokuapp.com/.

[VinayGupta23]

Okay.

Link the web app in the landing page.

[ayushagarwal95]

@biocross: the design for improved landing page needed. Only then can this be done.

[prijindal]

I can do it

[aneesh-neelam]

@prijindal, @ayushagarwal95: It helps if the landing page and the web app are similar in design. That'll make the whole thing look consistent.

[prijindal]

How About Something like this:

[aneesh-neelam]

@prijindal: No, looks extremely weird. Those are weird colors, use lighter ones. And don't use blue for both. Blue and blue's complement could work.

Also, the project is called "VITacademics", note the casing, spelling and spacing.

[prijindal]

How about putting a screenshot of our apps there?

[aneesh-neelam]

@prijindal: What's the point of doing that? They are anyway present on the app pages on the various app stores. Make a page, similar to WhatsApp :: Home.

[prijindal]

How about this kind of layout
and Different colors

[aneesh-neelam]

Well, that's nicer. Just ensure the design is consistent throughout.

But that's still the wrong name of the project. It's "VITacademics". And it's "Academic Metrics", not "Academics Metric". There is more than one metric here.

[prijindal]

Great I will change that text and complete the whole prototype then

[aneesh-neelam]

@prijindal: Work with @ayushagarwal95 on this.

[prijindal]

👍

[rahulkapoor90]

@aneesh-neelam Was getting bored, how's this by the way?

[aneesh-neelam]

@rahulkapoor90: Are you insane? When I said similar to WhatsApp's website, I didn't mean an exact copy.

[rahulkapoor90]

@aneesh-neelam How can that be an exact copy it is something "similar" as you said and by similar i tried to get same layout, appreciation for work would have been nice rather than marking me as insane!

[biocross]

Aneesh, stop being an ass.

[aneesh-neelam]

I apologize for calling you insane.

What I meant by similar was in functionality. And I was looking for inspired design.

What you did isn't similar, it's identical in both design and functionality.

[rahulkapoor90]

@aneesh-neelam Okay, point noted.

[prijindal]

Here, I Extended My earlier design:

Sorry for the late reply.
