Rethink Nav Labels

[smsada]

Overview

Navigation titles should be clear as to what the page does. The current disconnect between what the Nav titles are vs. what the page shows (ex. Nav Name: "Add your project" vs Page Title: "Tag Generator"). This also creates confusion when referring to pages in FAQs and other sections.

Current Nav name vs Page Title

Action Items

• Spend 20 minutes on the following:
  • Write a quick synopsis/objective/what you can achieve, for each page. This will help in developing a naming schema (Do for both “Join the Index” and “Overview”)
  • Brainstorm ideas of new labels

Resources/Instructions

This came as a note from Bonnie after auditing the whole site.
Bonnie's Notes coming from Issue #1096

Additional comments by Bonnie

• Consider using words like Wizard
• Decide between "Civic Tech Tag Generator" / "Tag Generator" / "Tag Generator Wizard" etc.
  • What is important is that there is clarity and consistency
• You want the words to be consistent and lighthearted (reference branding exercise)

Once this is completed, a new Issue will be generated for another audit to make sure labeling within FAQs is correct and in-sync with Nav names

Tracked on Issue #1066

• Need some clarity about Civic Tech Organizations vs Organizations in the NavBar as the pics above are different

  • Nav titles should be matching

• Following this, we need to match this in the lower nav for consistency
  

• Also "Tag Generator Wizard" should be the Title of the page

Re-Opening to make changes addressed in previous comment

The site has been updated and re-rerouting alternatives have been added through react-router in App.js. However I still need to update the links in the FAQ page which does not utilize react-router. For this I will need access to the backend.
