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:

  1. Redesign Concept - Diego
  2. Redesign Concept - hammermann

Thanks in advance! :)

    I prefer hammermanns design. But would like to have a light Design instead of a dark one, with the option to switch to dark mode via (floating) button or by recognizing system settings of browser. (if this could be realized in a privacy focused way) I look at this from the perspective of a businessmen instead of programmer, and the western hemisphere where monero takes place the most recognize dark spaces as something bad or shady as persons before me already mentioned.

    Diegos design is a very harsh downgrade compared to the active site. So, i would refuse it.

      I would agree with preferring light mode (with an off white background), but the community is split on the issue. Having a toggle mode would be helpful, but there might be a third alternative that might work for the community, beige mode like FIRO does ( https://firo.org/ ). Imagine using the hammermanns design but using the more beige versions of the Monero colors (toned down orange, dark grey, and white) as being the primary colors on the web site. It would show Monero is different and is a compromise between the “hacker black” and “corporate white” used by nearly every other crypto.
