Here is a new draft of the docs home page in response to feedback that the current one is overwhelming and to help make the main options more clear at the top of the page. Any and all feedback welcomed and no rush on this one https://redis.io/docs/staging/doc-home-update/


Note

Medium Risk
Large layouts/home.html restructure changes the primary navigation/CTA flow and many internal links, so regressions are most likely around layout and broken/incorrect destinations. No backend or security-sensitive logic is touched.

Overview
Refreshes layouts/home.html to make the top of the page more directive: a smaller centered welcome header with two primary CTA buttons (develop open source vs run in production) and a short prompt pointing to commands/integrate.

Replaces the prior multi-card “Get Started” and “Deploy & Operate” partial-driven content with new, more opinionated sections: “Redis for AI and search” (use-case link grid + /chat prompt), product continuum cards (Open Source/Software/Cloud), “Choose your next step” intent cards, and an “Explore the documentation” quick-links grid. Also applies font-mono more broadly and tweaks the AI search placeholder copy.

Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 1002e76. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.

One broken link; otherwise, LGTM.

This is a partial review. I'd be happy to make some of these changes myself in a separate PR.

I think it would be useful to have these be buttons as well leading to the home page of each section. In my testing changing "div" to "a" seems to work, and adding the style to transition colors. Would be happy to make the changes myself.

I don't mind the border and red text here too much, but I really don't like the fact that the background is the same color as the page background.

I'd recommend changing this color to match the software color, but then the Red color doesn't contrast well enough for the text. (Actually, as it stands, the text/background could be contrasted a little more - it seems to pass most of the tests but not all of them.) Happy to test colors myself here to see what works best. Maybe also a "Recommended" badge to make it stand out?

Thank you so much Cameron! Yes, any changes you want to work on would be great.

The main thing I notice is that the full-width layout and the narrow mobile layout work OK, but in the "intermediate" width layout, the nav buttons at the left display on top of the content. However, this also happens with the current layout, so maybe we've decided it's not an issue? Anyway, I think the new layout looks pretty good and it crams more information into a smaller space.

The thing with the nav bar appearing over the content boxes still seems to be there but otherwise I'd say it's looking really good :-)

Inconsistent link styles break staging navigation

Medium Severity

The new content sections mix two different link styles: {{ relURL "commands" }} and {{ relURL "integrate" }} on line 62 vs ./develop/, ./operate/rc/, etc. everywhere else. On staging (served under a subpath like /docs/staging/doc-home-update/), relURL resolves from the site root while ./ resolves relative to the current page. This means the "complete command reference" and "integrated libraries and tools" links navigate to a different path hierarchy than every other link on the page. The PR reviewer flagged this exact concern about ./ vs direct links for staging consistency.
