Hi, Oscar, The new main website is alluring. 👍 to the redesign team.
The banner captivates. The "I want to" line above the banner is a great idea. It's a superb thought presenting to a visitor on arrival the options they have adding and getting value to and from the community. I suggest that the font size be increased to enhance catchiness. "Get involved" button appearing under "Volunteer" keeps me thinking. It seems to me the two buttons should be swapped if (as I think) volunteering, knowing/joining the community, logging into AMY and reading/consulting the handbook are ways of getting involved. Is my thought on track?
