This is not a formal pre-proposal.
It is an inquiry as to whether or not there is interest from the PIVX community in a refreshed https://pivxambassadors.org website.
And whether it is worthy of a proposal or better suited as a crowd-funded project?
This idea was inspired by recent problems with the website (now fixed) which was caused by Google Maps changing it's terms.
Based on the current structure, overall design, and purpose of the website, I believe I can make significant improvements in a refreshed version. Site admin would also be significantly easier.
Key changes:
The top block is current site performance test, the bottom block is the new site,
note the google page speed and the overall kb of page.
Of note is that a single ambassador profile page currently uses over 1800 lines of code to produce the page, my mockup demo currently sits at 209 lines, in the end it still will probably be under 300 lines.
Here is a side by side screenshot attempting to show a cleaner, more purposeful layout (new one is on the left, I'm hoping that was obvious)
Again, same as above but for the homepage
Regarding administration, the workflow:
These are my ideas for the site, but of course layout modifications would be welcome and recommended if it goes to further stages.
I look forward to your comments

Key changes:
- Switch from Wordpress to Grav CMS
- Significantly faster loading
- No reliance on Google Services (unless analytics is added)
- No reliance on third party data sources (CDN, etc)
- All open source (maps using openstreetmap)
- Visually pleasing and welcoming
- Uniform display of data
- Ability to send messages to Ambassadors without revealing email address
- Easy administration (further info below)

Regarding administration, the workflow:
- Ambassador fills in an application form
- Email sent to 1 or more persons notifying application sent
- Peer reviews the submitted data with ability to alter or clean it up
- New page is then enabled with all formatting and uniform with all other profiles
These are my ideas for the site, but of course layout modifications would be welcome and recommended if it goes to further stages.
