It should be accessible with Javascript disabled via Tor and I2P. +The website will not require Javascript to function, but it could be progressively enhanced with Javascript for users who have it enabled. + +The website will be designed to be responsive, ensuring optimal viewing and interaction across various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones. + +Regarding the design aspect, this website implements the [Figma design](https://www.figma.com/file/yT4JTUfvBkAsBDPNPJL1gx/Monero-Redesign-Concept?type=design&node-id=0-1&mode=design) that was made roughly three years ago by Hammermann09, announced in this [Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/pr8x6v/a_redesign_concept_for_wwwgetmoneroorg/). +The design is mostly done at 90% but there are still some tasks to address, such as the mobile menu, the blog page, the documentation, SVG images, etc. +Since I am not a designer, I can either hire a designer from the funds I receive, or another CCS proposal has to be made by anyone who is willing to complete the design tasks. + +I already have a working prototype of the website that can be seen [here](https://getmonero-unofficial-beta.vercel.app/), hosted on my GitHub at [https://github.com/Janaka-Steph/monero-website](https://github.com/Janaka-Steph/monero-website). + + +# Who will complete the proposal? +I am Janaka, senior web developer with extensive experience in cryptocurrency. These past recent years, I have mainly been involved into Bitcoin and the Liquid network. +I then discovered Monero and its community, and I am now eager to contribute to this project. +I decided not to try hiding myself, so you can easily look up my GitHub profile at [https://github.com/Janaka-Steph](https://github.com/Janaka-Steph) to see my previous work and contributions. + + +# Why it is important for Monero and the community: +A well-designed and functional website is crucial for Monero's growth and community engagement. It serves as the primary gateway for users to access information about Monero, including its features, use cases, and latest developments. +By investing in a website rewrite, we can enhance Monero's visibility, credibility, and user experience, ultimately fostering greater adoption and community involvement. + + +# Milestones and projected timeline: + +1. **English Responsive Website** + - Develop a functional responsive website with all pages in English. + - Functional blog, documentation, and content pages (all the screens in the Figma design). + - Ensure validated, accurate, up-to-date content, with all links working. + - Seeking active feedback from the community on [Matrix #monero-site channel](https://matrix.to/#/#monero-site:monero.social). + - Opening issues on the GitHub repository for feedback and bug reports everytime I have doubts or see room for improvement. + - Eventually adding new content if needed, after community review via Matrix and GitHub issues. + - Complete Figma design and address various design tasks (not done by me directly). + - Estimated Completion: 3 months + +2. **Translation** + - Translate the new website into all languages supported by the current website. + - Ensure accurate translation and maintain consistency across languages. + - Estimated Completion: 2 months + +3. **Transition** + - Wire up all components for a smooth transition from the old website to the new one. + - Execute various tasks to finalize the transition process. + - Implement necessary scripts for website functionality. + - Estimated Completion: 1 month + + +# Funding: + +I am willing to dedicate 20 hours per week to this project, at a $45 per hour rate. +Using an XMR/USD exchange rate of $120 per XMR, the cost of the project is estimated as follows: + +The first milestone estimated at 3 months will cost 20 hours/week * 4 weeks * 3 months * 45 USD = 10800 USD = 90 XMR. +To complete this first milestone I will need the help of a designer. +For simplicity, I propose that I hire a designer myself, that I will pay out of the funds I receive in this milestone. +My estimation for the remaining design tasks is around 15 hours of work.
