Front Page and Download Page Redesign

[smcgregor]

The download page and the front page should be combined and present information targeted at users. Developer information should be presented in the "develop" page.

Should answer these questions for a very low context audience:

• why should I use this?
  • Draw very obvious ties between data mining and your messages
• How do I use this?
  • Explain different ways to create content?
  • Walk through the 'lifecycle' of a post?
  • Educate? eg not typing content into gmail directly?

I made some improvements to this that are visible on the staging site, so I am downgrading this to "major" and it is no longer blocking release.

I think this is a great start @smcgregor!

I agree with @spectralsun that "Post Links instead of Content" doesn't fully capture Privly.

There should be something on the front page that actually describes what Privly is: A browser extension and content server. Maybe this can be under the heading of "Nitty Gritty Details" at the bottom.

The heading "Companies See Link" is a little confusing to me, as that is also what non-privly users see.

As an aside, I uploaded the work I did on a redesign to an imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/joJZw#0
I'm happy to share the originals if we can find a place to put them.

@bramwelt We can put the originals in the privly-organization repo if you like.

I think we want to concentrate on what the experience will be like for users of the software. Non-Privly users will see links, but that's why they too should download the extension?

I changed the headline to "Change the Way Your Browser Works" to relate the concept of a browser extension to a new (potential) user. It is not perfect, but do you think it an improvement over "Post Links Instead of Content"?
