Aemie commented on CAMEL-15185:
-------------------------------
[~aashnajena] [~zregvart] I read through websites regarding the footer design
implementation, for the alternate links what I was thinking is to include the
ones under documentation 'cause well it takes more time for the user to
navigate through it and if they find it in the footer itself, it is easier for
them. Other than that, we can include the basic navbar with links to blogs and
projects and community pages. Apart from that, I agree to keep social media
icons in the footer 'cause the user won't be diverted to another social network
from our website when landing itself. If we want to keep icons in the footer,
we could just include the GitHub and Jira issue icons.
Also, agree with Zoran to include a privacy policy and sitemap and we could
place it right below the copyright note. I like the design of Hook Agency as
its spacious and neat however I don't think the site should include the slant
in the footer.
> Improve Footer on Camel Website

> Key: CAMEL-15185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15185
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: website
> Reporter: Aashna Jena
> Priority: Major
> Labels: outreachy2020, suggestions
>
> I have some reservations about the website footer. On the mobile view, the
> footer takes up almost the entire height of my device because the Overview,
> Community and About columns do not fit into one row. Secondly, on the desktop
> view, the header navigation is fixed at the top, so I can view the header
> menu while I'm at the footer of the page. Having same links visible on the
> header menu and footer doesn't make sense to me (Download, Community, Blog
> etc). I do see a lot of websites having menu links on the footer, but they
> don't have a fixed navbar.
> Suggestions : I looked up best practices for footers. I think we can reduce
> the number of links we display on the footer, especially the ones overlapping
> with header menu. We can also add some things (from what I read up on best
> practices) - form for subscribing to the mailing list, sitemap link, contact
> information, link to report a bug on the website, privacy policy/ terms of
> use (if we have) and maybe a subscription for the blog, since we have quite
> informative and regular blog posts. I also really like the idea of having a
> row of social media icons in the footer, which a lot of websites do. This
> will give us the freedom of adding many more icons than on the header menu.
