Hi @nehasyed97 After meeting with Sija today, I setup this Figma page in our Figma account, so that we could do testing internally (with team on Sunday) before we go to external users via usability hub

I also created the following items in the slack channel so we can do voting https://hackforla.slack.com/archives/C018FMQTWMT/p1660170421953849

1. Progress: Completed issue today (14/08/2022) via live preference test. Out of 17 voters, 14 displayed a preference towards Toolkit Dark bg - option 3. While the issue is complete, I will be reaching out to individuals with civic tech jobs to understand the way in which they conduct preference tests. This will help uncover if there are any ways to improve our current method.
2. Blockers: I am not entirely sure how to locate members with civic tech jobs but will explore different Slack channels and send out a message if I need help. I am also not entirely sure on how to create a Figjam file but will have more clarity regarding this once I am able to connect with somebody within civic tech.
3. Availability: 6 hours.
4. ETA: 1/1.5 weeks.
5. Pictures: Attached is the selected Toolkit Dark bg - option 3.

Progress: I have spent the last few days playing around with Figjam to come up with a model that could (potentially) be used for preference testing moving forward. Currently, I have come up with 3 different models and will use our team call on Sunday to decide on the most efficient one.
Blockers: As I am very new to Figjam and teaching myself how to navigate it, the models I am coming up with are relatively simple.
Availability: 6 hours.
ETA: August 28, 2022.
Pictures: N/A

@ExperimentsInHonesty Because it involves toolkit, lets add the Homepage Launch milestone

@nehasyed97 You closed the issue but there are no details of what the final determination was

• Ready for design lead to copy the contents out of this figma file into one owned by our project.
• Ready for development lead to create an issue to start laying out this page. It will eventually replace the toolkit page, but we could develop it with a different name and then replace the toolkit page when its done.
• Ready for research lead to make sure the research is properly recorded in the wiki
