Improve UI/UX of firstcontributions.github.io #501
Description
📌 Summary
The current UI of the firstcontributions.github.io site appears quite basic and lacks visual styling in several areas. As a first-time contributor, I'd love to enhance the user interface to make it more modern, visually appealing, and beginner-friendly without affecting existing functionality.
🎯 Areas for Improvement
🧭 Navigation
Add consistent header/footer
Improve spacing and layout for better readability
🎨 Styling
Introduce a modern color palette and better typography
Use CSS or utility-first framework (like TailwindCSS, if acceptable)
Add visual hierarchy for section titles and content
📱 Responsiveness
Make the layout mobile-friendly
Fix padding/margin issues on smaller screens
💻 Component Polish
Style buttons, links, and cards with hover/focus states
Use semantic HTML where appropriate
✅ Benefits
Improves first impressions for newcomers to open source
Makes the content easier to read and interact with
Gives contributors a more polished and welcoming interface
🛠️ Tech Stack Suggestion
Happy to implement using plain CSS or, if allowed, introduce lightweight frameworks like TailwindCSS to keep the site minimal and maintainable.
🙋♂️ Proposal
If approved, I’d like to:
Create mockups or quick layout suggestions
Start with a small PR to revamp the homepage section-by-section
Keep changes modular and accessible
