Website feedback needed

Hello everyone ❤️

A week or so ago we released a newly redesigned version of the DevDojo website.

We used the following technologies:

• Laravel
• VueJS
• Tailwind CSS

Deployed: DigitalOcean

Link: https://devdojo.com/

As we just released the redesigned version of the site, we are looking for feedback on what we can improve/add to make it better.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated 🙌

Looks epic, I get your choices, but did you consider using Vuex to manage state on your site(unless you already are using a state management tool). Since you're using Vue I thought Vuex might not be a bad idea. Can help with tracking user data flow. Especially if things go wrong, you might want to see where the errors occured.

Loaded really fast on my Mac, and looks real nice.
Some notes:

• I didn't know the site before and could not find an About section
• I tried to disable JS to reach the footer, and the page remains blank (this will hurt your SEO)
• The top menu in Firefox has extra scroll bars when the window is kind of narrow (say 800px wide and below)

Hi Daniel, that's absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for taking the time and writing this constructive feedback! Really appreciated!! 🙌

Check the page accessibility with an automated tool (like Wave) and also manually. There are many a11y issues:

• Insufficient contrast between text and background.
• Missing alternative text for images.
• Missing jump to content link.
• Many elements are not accessible with keyboard (mainly the menu!).
• Invalid HTML structures (e.g. you have anchors inside of anchors)...

That's a really cool tool! Thanks a lot for sharing it Alvaro! 🙌

Seems nice, but would be nice to see actually the footer especially if there is any important link or information on it.
The other thing, mobile view and landscape on S9+ vs sidebar. The rendering and the smoothness still very good, but after 2-3-4 scroll, feel very empty the right side since the sidebar was waaaaaaay shorter than the actual content. Maybe worth to put the sidebar somewhere else on small display size. (Just opinion).

The colors, text nice, but miss the dark mode :)

That's a good point! Thank you for the feedback! 🙌

Hey Bobby, looking neat! I love the 'Popular Topics' section. I also love how you made use of the huge content it has and put in one place. One small remark - it would be great if I could have the option of adding 'Favorite Topics' block somewhere. This way I can filter my homepage to meet my interests better. Anyway, love it. Keep it up!

[Bobby]

Thanks a lot for taking the time to check out the Denislav!

I like your idea, sounds like it would be super useful! Thanks for sharing it!

Hi, nice website! One thing that might be useful is "Back to top" button. When someone scrolled down, then there is no way to easily scroll back to top.
Here is link to image that shows that feature: codyhouse.co/assets/img/gems/hero/...

That's a good point! Thanks a lot Andriy! 🙌

Any tips would be great in a new article. I love reading how you CSS wonder people get it done. Thanks Bobby!

It was glaring at first sight but still I had to be sure.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's a really cool tool! Thanks for sharing that!

Design is great! I love the fact that DevDojo community is more focused on PHP development, while DEV is more towards NodeJS. Just signing up... ;)

[Bobby]

Awesome! Thank you ✌🏽
