1375620 - All-white BG diminishes visual hierarchy of site

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Design, enhancement)

Description

[Potch [:potch]]

What did you do?
================
Tried out the beta design, and navigated to the homepage

What happened?
==============
I was like "Where are the individual sections of the page?"

What should have happened?
==========================
I should have browsed to a page like https://gridbyexample.com/examples/code/example7.html, where things look nice! I like the redesign, though the change is large!

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
I'm sure it's something I'd get used to, but it just feels like a *lot* of un-differentiated white space, especially on the homepage.

We haven't implemented the homepage redesign yet, just tried to make it not break with the other changes we made. 

We're taking a very iterative approach to this redesign because: quarterly deliverables.

I'm pretty excited by the new home page mockups we've seen, hopefully they'll be up by the end of the first week of July :)

New homepage design is partially in place. I hope you will agree it is an improvement :)
