<p>
I'm looking to pay from the Go-Fed OpenCollective to update the go-fed website.<br><br>
Both frontend & backend.<br><br>
<a target="_blank" href="https://go-fed.org/" style="color: #e4e6da">go-fed.org</a> design is "yep it has color". The backend is similarly a gigantic single golang template, a nightmare.<br><br>
The only real constraint is "preserve the existing content". Site design color scheme may need to reflect logo rework.<br><br>
DMs OK.<br><br>
