Let's build an About page

We lack a traditional "Company" page. I like Our story we currently use, but think it might be worth a higher-level company summary that links into the story and other company-type content.

Recently I was on Bubble.io's company page, which uses the url /about which I really liked. It feels more personal (like on a blog) compared to a typical company.

This is a bit of a one-off project, but think it will add enough personality at a decently-important page that it's worth the time we'd spend on it when somehow has a breather.

→ See the entire mid-fidelity Balsamiq wireframe - by the way, this is from Balsamiq so it's more concept than polished at this point

Page structure

  1. Mission

  2. Our story (link to full story)

  3. Team (links to a subset of contributors/special list) in community section

  4. Why we're different (links to roadmap, handbook)

  5. Timeline A fun concept I figured I'd paste here for those who don't click the Balsamiq link. ;) It's three tracks with plots at specific time periods. We're plotting employee join dates, product highlights, and company milestones.

  6. Investors

  7. Media (not mocked)

  8. Careers

  9. Company video

@lottiecoxon I'm wondering if you have some thoughts on how we can improve the hero? I like the letter-style look, but this definitely needs another graphic. I like the YC callout since it talks about the history, but feel like you could really knock this out of the park.

I've been wanting to scratch this itch for a while so I decided to buckle down and try to get it done.

Here's a draft of the company /about page:

Figma mock

Note: Ignore out-of-date navigation (top and side)

  • For Team section, avatar bubbles could be subtly moving around to get a little depth, and location dots could be pulsing sporadically like beacons

Static art for about page is completed but building it out in aftereffects to animate it subtly - can link you to Figma for primary implementation
