OTTR rebrand

[cansavvy]

It's happening! Working on making what OTTR has evolved into more clear and more centered on websites.

Websites are a more common use case then courses so let's show off those capabilities.

These changes need to be DRYed up a bit because the content is a bit redundant but this is a first pass.

Some hot take opinions to make the header bar more clear:

Need to have fewer options up top:
Get Started
OTTR Website
OTTR Course
About
Help

I am happy to help divvy up the contents appropriately!

Also, I do love exclamation points but I think we should take them out wherever possible for * serious software * vibes

Yes thanks for this feedback!

Whenever I write my first passes have too many exclamation points and then I have to go back through and tone it down so we don't come off completely unhinged. 😝 I will tone it down more lol.

I was trying to figure out how to make the nav bar a little less cluttered. I think I've gotten down to what You're describing here but where do we put the customization info?

[avahoffman]

Yes! looking better! More hot takes lol

• Customization should be included at the end of each OTTR Web and OTTR Course - this is "advanced" usage, so we don't want folks to find it too soon.
• OTTR spinoffs can be under "about" - they are a usecase by us developers, not something the general public needs to see
• Feedback link is at the bottom, doesn't need to be in the menu bar

Thanks for being open to it! I am trying to put my marketing hat on, and I'm picturing OTTR Web and OTTR Course as our 2 main products 🤩 So we want these to be front and center

I was thinking of it more as OTTR Website is now the new default and OTTR Courses are the second choice.

Any reason not to show that we can do both? They're both a way to publish if you think abt it.

Better? Comments, @avahoffman ?

While not perfect, I think this is a much needed improvement and the rest would be easier to do in tinier subsequent PRs. Gonna merge YOLO.

I can see both of your thoughts on this. I agree that if we can make the website concept prominent but showcase the courses as a modality of the website options maybe that would work?
