The next step is to take those styles and build a mockup of an existing page (probably the home page) while at the same time also exploring ways to improve navigation and content arrangement. Considering the nature of the Apache voting/collaboration system I think it's a good idea to compare three images side-by-side:
1. A snapshot of the current home page 2. A version of the current homepage with only the visual styles changed (UI Only) 3. A new homepage with a new layout, new navigation, and the new styles (UX and UI) Then we can hold an open discussion and everyone can vote. In a typical workflow, my team creates designs in Adobe XD and we share public links to mockups so anyone can test and comment. We usually don't share the source files simply because no one has ever really cared to look at them. But there's no reason we can't share them and let anyone who wants to download Adobe XD <https://www.adobe.com/products/xd.html?sdid=12B9F15S&mv=Search&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMI3c78wpj94QIVi4bACh0lowF9EAAYASAAEgJqgPD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!3085!3!315233774103!b!!g!!adobe%20xd%20free> make changes and peak under the hood. (Adobe does not charge people to use XD)figma We could also explore using something like Figma <https://www.figma.com/> that isn't free, but offers a browser based design tool so anyone on any platform can make edits - but it's a SaaS so we'd have to find a sponsor. I don't know that traditional design workflows and the Apache collaboration methodology have ever really crossed paths before, so this could be a really amazing time to try out some new stuff. I'm open to suggestions and alternatives.
