Imagining just a download site. How would you imagine a simpler Tor site to look and work if it was just for downloading tor browser? The goal is to make it super simple and as few clicks as possible to hit the index page, and download tor browser in your language. The docs and all that could be linked to the current site. Anyone will to do a mockup (in graphics only is fine)? -- Andrew pgp 0x6B4D6475
Hi Andrew, I've been thinking about this for some time, actually. I'll make a mockup by the end of the day in Balsamiq. If anyone wants to collaborate on this, feel free to send me an email. Sincerely, Will Papper On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 12:22 AM, Andrew Lewman <andrew@torproject.is>wrote:
I've completed a rough mockup of the site. I'm still debating whether language should be a prominent option or under the "Something Else" field, so I tried to mirror the current site in that regard. All of the defaults would be auto-detected using JS. If JS is disabled, then the most common options are pre-selected (English, Windows, 32-bit, Stable). All feedback is greatly appreciated. If people like the site, then I'll go ahead and build it in HTML/CSS/JS. Here is the mockup: [image: Inline image 2] On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 10:52 AM, William Papper <william@papper.me> wrote:
I wonder if we should have a prominent tor logo or something along those lines. Trust might be a big issue for many people visiting the site, especially the ones in a hurry to download. About the language thing, maybe the page will have translations in multiple languages, then we'll have an option to choose the language somewhere on the page, like the translate option we see on many sites and the download could also default to that language? The user could have the option to select the language in the 'more options' page maybe. On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 10:16 PM, Lance <lance@insiberia.net> wrote:
All very good suggestions from everyone. Excellent progress. Remember split testing is everything. One download page is a good start but you can always put 10 up and show them in rotation. the one that gets the maximum amount of downloads is the winner. so if you are wondering about if you should put an element on a page just create one with and one without. show one half the time and the other the rest. track the download volume and we have a winner.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 As we are not trying to sell something, I am not sure if the download volume is the thing we are looking for (People coming to this page probably already know they want to download Tor). Perhaps something like "time spent on the page before downloading" or something similar would be a better indicator (the shorter the better), if that is possible to do in a privacy-preserving way that is acceptable to the TPO folks.

I completed the JS fallback, but it's a bit more rough. It uses a simple list, with languages available as options. Ignore the border and the sizing of the list for now -- it will be more like a table in the HTML version. Here's the page without JS: [image: Inline image 2] On Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 12:40 PM, William Papper <william@papper.me> wrote:
