Roadmap

This is an outline for the development of the site. There are two versions.

The first, which is mostly done now, is a single page site with essential information on. The aim of the version 1 is a respectable web site with useful information on that can be publicised elsewhere (Instagram, Facebook, business cards, CVs and other publicity etc.).

The second will be a multipage version and include a CMS.

Version 1

Can include some or all of the following.

1. Branding - establish the look of the site including:
   1. colours / gradients
   2. fonts
   3. font sizing and line-height
   4. logo designs
   5. icon designs
   6. line - shape of any distinguishing lines
2. Some design considerations (these can vary more than branding):
   1. button design
   2. link and hover effects
3. Sections - how to divide the information into different sections.
4. Section menu - could be a disappear on scroll one like Moon Landings
5. Text/copy. The wording for the different sections.
6. Imagery - make a start on some of the imagery (photos and illustraions)
7. Contact form
8. Newsletter form

Version 2

1. Multipage site including sections for:
   1. Past events
   2. Reviews
   3. Quotes / testimonies - could be a section on the front page?
   4. About (GNRR & Gabi)
   5. A more general blog section?? (could incorporate Past Events and Reviews.)
2. Different code structure perhaps using a theme
3. Sections/Pages/Footer - which sections go on the front page, what has a separate page/s and what can go in the footer (ie. on every page).
4. Differnt design (but using branding established v.1)
5. A Content Management System (CMS) - editing the pages for Gabi. Could be:
   1. Netlify-CMS (see demo) web based
   2. SaaS - api based service. Free tier should be fine
6. Flyout (hamburger) menu for mobile sites. (eg. swinging door style)
7. Imrpoved animations
8. Own Git repo - could set up a separate GitLab or GitHub repo for GNRR.
9. Get rid of extraneous assets like font files, image, icon files etc..
10. Image CDN - could host images on a separate CDN like uploadcare
11. Search?? - only if needed.

Design idea for version 2.

Emphasizing a bit more luxury/quality/sophistication to reflect the high production quality of books and the niceness of GNRR venues. (The fonts were only changed coz of software this image was created in.)
