Please loop others in :) . Look forward to the conversation

As requested by the designer, I came up with these information architecture (IA) (current & proposed).

Current IA

Proposed IA

@vinothchandar please check out the links to comment. Once the IA is more or less finalized, we can start to make some mockups and then further iterate on this.

@xushiyan From looking at it high level, looks like you are suggesting to introduce another level of navigation between the NavBar and different info pages, example is NavBar -> Blog to NavBar -> Learn -> Blog apart from some more restructuring. I like it, is this based on some user feedback or inspiration from other projects ?

[xushiyan]

@n3nash you're right. It will be hover effect though, so still 1 click as it's now to go from NavBar to Blog. I suggest the dropdown menu for better organizing the pages (categorize them for easier discovery). It's just a common UI component for static website navigation, which I've seen in other projects too.

@vinothchandar @n3nash check out the wireframe our designer @joanna-ux has put up!

The new nav makes sense! How do we proceed?
