Copy for Redesign
Still a work in progress... [last update: 4/19/10]
Header:
Mozilla - About Us - Our Community - Our Projects - How to Contribute - [Search]
Hero area:
[JS thought: would be cool to have a few different beliefs that would be randomly served up so repeat visitors would see fresh stuff. We could draw on elements from the manifesto (rewritten, of course), general topics, or a combo of both. I wrote the text below with that in mind.]
We Believe
that you have the power to make the Internet better for everyone. Learn more.
that your online privacy shouldn't be an option with an on/off switch. Learn more.
that, as awesome as the Internet already is, we've only scratched the surface of how great it can be. Learn more.
etc etc
Other elements:
Get Involved - [specific promo copy TBD]
Projects
- Firefox
- The world’s best web browser, made just the way you like it. Download.
- Thunderbird
- Our next-generation email client is fast, flexible and secure. Download.

David's Scratchpad
Taking a pass at reducing redundant content and information that could go on other pages.

Calls To Action
Mulitple CTAs (1 big spot with smaller spots or 1 spot that rotates?)
Possible example content for mockups:
- Lanakai beach page
- Drumbeat launch
- Mozilla Store (Maybe store should be permanent?)
Projects
Firefox® The world's best browser
Thunderbird® Safe, fast and easy email
See more projects button with SeaMonkey, Bugzilla, Camino, Sunbird and more logos?
This could be like the Mozilla Galaxy graphic where we show that there's a larger ecosystem that Firefox and Thunderbird are a part of.
Community Ticker
Expanded area that might not have a set number of slots but rather a space that can fill up as things come in and could even have some options for filtering (View discussions, websites, photos, etc.)
There could also be some static navigation here similar to the Looking for bar at the top of the current page that could direct you to certain sites or direct you to the community directory on mozilla.org.
News
Much smaller area that linked to the last three about:mozilla issues (the link could just be the date instead of the headline and some initial text like it is now).
Number of columns of links would go from 5 to 4 with the removal of Our Causes so the footer design might need to be reviewed (it will probably be reviewed anyway as part of a global IA element).
