[DATAGOV Core] UPDATES ON WEBSITE: OPINION NEEDED Meeting with Ray at 10

Hey,

Thanks for all the work to coordinate this.
For me, all colours look ok and the rest as well, but the brown on green is also my favourite.

But it’s very important for me that the website is easy to use and edit for us I don’t see that in the notes below.
Pictures not what we want, I want to be able that everyone can easily upload new ones. A new menu item/section: I want to be able to do this with a few clicks, without becoming a web developer or asking Ray.

Best,
Jonas

the graphics shows illustrations more than pictures so is hard to say
how it would look with actual photos. I think the colors could rotate
random or be part of context, but that is not complex to do once the css
is defined if following content. As site evolves it should be flexible
enough to adapt.

Stuff like this has to be done procedurally so to be dynamic and can be
done by us dressing it with the site css

AFAIK is a go go go
