Hello everyone,

As many of you know, getmonero.org has been using the same design for quite some time now. While it's served us well, some community members have mentioned that the current look is starting to feel a bit dated & amateur.

The Monero Website work group is looking for some more community feedback to be discussed at the next meeting (feel free to join!).

Would you prefer to keep the current design, or should we consider refreshing it? We’ve received two alternative concepts by community members Diego and hammermann (linked below) and would love to get your feedback.

Please let us know your thoughts! What do you like about the current site? What would you change? If you prefer one of the new concepts, tell us why. Your input is invaluable as we move forward with making any potential changes.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone!

Links to the concepts:

Thanks in advance! :)

I've been thinking about the website, and my thoughts are as follows: Because of Monero's uncompromising pursuit of privacy for over 10 years, we've already established an ethos of "we don't give a fuck". We're at a point where our branding and tonality is not crucial to the project's success. With this in mind, we should aim to have the most open and friendly "official" website possible, to welcome anyone and everyone to the project. We're already dominant on the darknet, and we don't need to reflect that in our branding.

So, my thoughts are that we should stick with the current sitemap and design of the website. We could make some improvements in terms of text, illustrations, videos, and possibly other elements. However, Why fix something that isn't broken? What are we trying to achieve, and can we not do that by working with the website as it is?

@VOSTOEMISIO @monerobull I agree with this view... the current site can be improve but I dont see a need to refactor the all thing.. (and Im not also fan of make the site dark as all the proposals that I saw until now)
