Suggestions for Improving the Content and Engagement of the "About" Section and the whole website

[hellosamyak]

I reviewed the "About" section & the overall website and observed that while it contains comprehensive information about the DISC Program and Unconference, there are areas where readability, structure, and engagement could be improved. Here's a detailed analysis:

Observations and Suggested Enhancements

1. Readability
The text is dense, with long paragraphs and limited use of subheadings or bullet points. This makes it harder to scan for key information.
Suggestions:

• Break the content into smaller paragraphs.
• Use bullet points or numbered lists where appropriate (e.g., for the Unconference Goals).

2. Clarity
Some sentences and ideas are complex, requiring re-reading for understanding.
Suggestions:

• Simplify language where possible to improve accessibility for a global audience.
• Include a concise summary of the DISC Program’s mission at the beginning for better context.

3. Structure
The current flow could be reorganized to improve coherence. For instance, details about the DISC Program and the Unconference are interspersed, which might confuse readers.
Suggestions:

• Group content into clearly labeled sections, such as:
• "DISC Program Overview"
• "DISC Unconference Mission"
• "Unconference Goals"
• "Event Details"
• "Future Collaboration"
• Use subheadings to make the page easier to navigate.

4. Event Details
The details about the 2025 Unconference are clear but buried within the text.
Suggestions:
Present key event details (e.g., date, location, number of participants) in a table or a concise bullet-point list for quick reference.

5. Visual Elements
The section is text-heavy and lacks visual engagement.
Suggestions:
Include relevant images, such as pictures from past events or graphics illustrating diversity in open-source communities.

Hi! @melissawm
I reviewed the website and noticed areas where content structure, readability, and engagement could be enhanced. To address this, I’ve created this issue detailing observations and specific suggestions for improvement.

I’d love to contribute to this section by refining the language, reorganizing the structure, and suggesting ways to make it more visually engaging and impactful. Please let me know if I can proceed with this contribution.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi @hellosamyak,

Copy on these pages should probably be approved by NumFOCUS. Since the conference organization is well underway, I'm not sure there is much value in changing the contents of this repo unless there are problems.

@kamila-NF what do you think?

The website should now be available at http://localhost:3000/disc-unconference-2025/
