Description

This is an open listing of ideas around improving the corporate sponsor experience and thus raising more money for Django itself. The focus is on small addressable things rather than a redesign.

  • Homepage... put sponsors on the bottom in order based on sponsorship tiers as VueJS and many other sites do?
  • Sidebar... use existing space to highlight sponsors if above a certain tier? Not just random like now.
  • Change wording from "Donate" or "Support" to "Sponsor" throughout
  • Improve https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/ page to be more concise, highlight corporate sponsors more vs lower down
  • Prospectus with benefits of sponsorship. Inspiration can be found here and in other places. Benefits include 1) Security, 2) Regular releases, 3) Fellows Program. Sponsors receive visibility both on djangorpoject.com website and that can be used/mentioned on their own sites/marketing/hiring

Research direction
Look at the homepage template (homepage.html) and sidebar template (sidebar.html) in the django/djangoproject.com repository. Research how VueJS displays sponsors on their website for tier based ordering. Examine the fundraising page template for potential restructuring. Review the Python sponsor application page for prospectus inspiration. Check existing comments for any prior work or specific suggestions.
