Architecting a torproject.org with portals with the subsite design pattern
= Objective =
To define the structure of the new website: specifically, to decide how many pages/subpages there will be, how the main site will interact with its portals/subsites, and deciding where to host content (prioritizing important things first, leaving lesser important things in harder-to-reach pages).
= Definitions =
- the subsite design pattern looks like this:
This structure is good for organizations with lots of separate topics/responsibilities. This is one of many design patterns, which you can see here.
= Methodology =
The website will be architected to have a main page (torproject.org) and three portals/subsites: 1) dev.torproject.org, 2) support.torproject.org, and 3) outreach.torproject.org. The purpose of the main site would be to redirect people to the appropriate portals, and the portals will host portal-specific content and will not cross-link.
Once we have decided what content will need to be hosted on each page, we will architect the website to host the appropriate contents in this design pattern.
