Hi Steven. As part of our Q4 brand messaging project, we'd like to update the homepage with crisper messaging and a new look. We now have the design files ready to go. The link below should contain two files - one for the page background and the other for the content itself. http://people.mozilla.com/~smartell/engagement/mozcom/home_nonfxusers_EC1.zip Please let me know if you have any questions. In terms of timing, this is very high priority...we'd like to fast track this for a launch early next week if at all possible. Is that doable? Thanks!
Btw, this is separate from, but related to, bug 695473. Kristin or Laura, do you think we even need that other one? Given that it hasn't launched yet and this more or less supercedes it I'd say probably not. What do you think?
Working on these today. I see on this page that the "Get Firefox for mobile!" link is done from this version of the page. Is that intentional?
Updating to 4.8 release, defn a priority above other projects.
Target Milestone: 4.7 → 4.8
Steven, fwiw some thoughts on implementation, since page load time is critical to conversion: *4.5 meg is pretty big, so I grabbed current page load from http://www.webpagetest.org/result/111123_5E_29ATD/ *This might assist in compressing the photos http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/jpegmini/
To answer John's question in comment 1, I don't think we need to A/B test these. Lets use "Different By Design" as the headline.
This is setup in trunk. Do note that the weight of the page has increased a bit with these changes. We did all we could to optimize, but there's only so much that can be done with that patterned image background. On the other hand, we were able to clean up a few unnecessary HTTP requests. Old: 224Kb (7 http requests) New: 196Kb (10 requests)

Thanks Steven. Really nice work keeping the page size from being too much bigger. Chrissie, thanks for your guidance here too. So this will go live with the revised TY and FR pages on Tuesday then?

Chrissie, thanks for your guidance here too. > > So this will go live with the revised TY and FR pages on Tuesday then? That's the plan. This page is all set (ready for QA). The ThankYou and FirstRun pages are only just getting started. I *think* we can have them ready in time, but will need a few more hours with them before I can commit to a schedule.
Sounds good, thanks Steven.
Added a few files that didn't get committed the first time around.

Sorry guys, I always forget how to look at things in trunk. Can someone give me a link? Thanks!

Home page looks good to me. Thanks.
Sorry about the additional last minute request here, but we'd like to drop the "Get Firefox for mobile" button (for now). Doable? The mobile reference in the footer nav should stay though.
Reopening per comment #16.

Raymond, I've re-added the 'qawanted' keyword here. It's a relatively low-impact change, but given the prominence of this page, I thought it warranted a second look. Thanks.
