# Refresh of developer.tbd.website

## Goal
Clarify the purpose of developer.tbd.website, and adapt the site contents and structure in service of that purpose.

We should be able to give Web5 Builders and Contributors a link to developer.tbd.website with no other info; and they have everything they need to get involved making Web5 applications or contributing to the platform.

"Get people from zero to a Web5 project in no time" - Nick

## Gaps
The current site was born before Web5 was named and project readiness enabled folks to build Web5 applications. As we prepare to offer the community more tangible calls to action, the site must serve as a stronger single access point bringing together all open source programs, projects, and educational materials.

## Target Audience
As the name infers: _Developers_. Both:
* Web5 Application Builders
* Contributors to the Web5 Platform

## Site Purpose

Give developers everything they need to:
* Build Web5 Applications
* Contribute to the Web5 Platform and its projects
* Learn the concepts behind our approach and why they're important
  * Decentralization
  * Data self-sovereignty
  * Open source 
  * Technical concepts and their relevance
      * ie. DIDs, VCs,  
* Get connected with the community
* Understand tbDEX
    * Its importance in on- and off-ramps to digital money
    * How Web5 underpins tbDEX as an application

## Overall Principles
* Brand voice: bring more of the funky/fun vibe

## Home Page
* Most important things the Home Page should focus on (unordered in priority):
  * Hero headline 
  * Get Started
    * Create a new Web5 Application
    * Add Web5 to your web application  
  * Orient to Concepts
    * Decentralization
    * Data Self-Soverignty
  * Orient to Projects
    * Web5
    * tbDEX 
* "We’re building the next generation of the decentralized web – returning data back to users. You’re welcome to join."
  * Let's reframe this around the desired action: promoting Web5 as a decentralized application platform with self-sovereign identity, and inviting people to make applications on it. All that will take some care in copyediting :)

### Small Wins
* "Double-click" > say something else to mean "Learn more"; this is literally a single-click button - ALR
* Our Philosophy > "Our Open Philosophy", copy revisions to illustrate why this must be a public good and how it enables others to build value. - ALR
