[Feature]: Improve homepage UI/UX: layout, spacing, and visual consistency #5342
Description
Problem Statement
The current homepage UI lacks visual consistency and structured layout, which impacts the overall user experience. Several elements appear misaligned, spacing is uneven, and the visual hierarchy is not clearly defined.
This issue focuses on improving the homepage UI/UX to make it more clean, structured, and user-friendly.
Areas of Improvement
- Inconsistent spacing between sections (e.g., header, hero section, cards)
- Misalignment of elements such as buttons, input fields, and headings
- Uneven padding and margins across components
- Lack of proper visual hierarchy (headings, sections, call-to-action)
- Poor grouping of related elements (e.g., Learn / Teach / Volunteer sections)
Proposed Solution
- Standardize spacing using consistent margin and padding values
- Improve alignment using flexbox/grid layouts
- Enhance visual hierarchy with better typography and section structuring
- Ensure consistent button and input field alignment
- Refactor layout of homepage sections for better readability and balance
Alternatives Considered
-
Keeping the existing layout and only making minor spacing fixes
→ Rejected because it would not fully resolve the underlying inconsistency and alignment issues -
Redesigning the entire homepage from scratch
→ Rejected to avoid large-scale changes and maintain consistency with the existing design system -
Introducing a new UI framework or design library
→ Rejected to keep the implementation aligned with the current tech stack and avoid unnecessary dependencies -
Limiting changes to only specific sections (e.g., hero or cards)
→ Rejected as inconsistencies are present across the entire homepage and require a more holistic improvement
