Welcome, visitor, to our overhauled website! We've been steadily undergoing the process of transforming our website for over a year now, and we are pleased to announce that the process is nearly complete. There may still be some kinks and bugs here and there, so we thank you in advance for your patience as we iron them out. Otherwise, thanks for stopping by! We hope you enjoy the new website.
Throughout the overhaul process, we had several discussions about how to integrate conviviality into our website. And while a more detailed blog post about conviviality and our website is in the works, here's a teaser for future functions and sections we'd like to create:
- A "degrow this website" switch that would enliven the website while also decreasing the energy needed to run it.
- Strong relationships with volunteers dedicated to translating the website into languages other than English.
- Links to resources about how to use and live with digital technologies in more convivial ways.
- Interactive elements like forms for submitting potential library entries, blog posts, and events and a survey where visitors can give feedback about the website.
- Website templates for future degrowth conferences.
- A more robust, interactive map for international degrowth initiatives.
The biggest way we've incorporated conviviality into our website has already been done: we moved away from Wordpress and created a custom content management system for the frontend of our website, giving us so much more autonomy over our website. Enormous thanks to our comrades at Slobodna Domena for working with us to build the new site and for their continued support!
That being said, the overhaul process is exactly that—a process—with more ideas to pursue and manifest in the future. For now, we'll celebrate the completion of this first major stage of the overhaul. Long live convivial degrowth!
