Aashna Jena commented on CAMEL-15185:
-------------------------------------
One thing I've noticed is that footers are mostly inverse colored compared to
the rest of the website, I was wondering if we could try that. The Apache
website also does this. Secondly, I had suggested the addition of a couple of
things - form for subscribing to mailing list, which I feel would be very
helpful, and links for reporting a bug on the website, contact info etc. Can we
include these things? I can make some designs which I had in mind initially,
but couldn't implement because I was busy with schoolwork the last couple of
weeks.

> 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.
