DDeSouza added a comment to T370381: Make header and footer as standalone objects.

For that we need to implement a static site generator (SSG) which would more or less separate the content from code, building the HTML files from templates/code. Then we would only have to edit one file to effect all pages thus eliminating repetitive work. The build process would be done automatically when a merge requested is merged so there would be no extra steps for editors but they will lose the ability to preview changes by downloading and opening the HTML file in the browser.

It isn't a mockup but a copy of the page from previous editions (2016 to 2023). The images are screenshots of the 2024 page running locally in a simulated 1080p screen. Mobile users are as important than desktop users. I didn't bother with adding images of mobile viewports because there were no significant changes to the layout of the page besides a minor margin fix of the footer element.

@leila I used the previous report as a template. This block is an artifact from it that I left by mistake and missed on later edits. I did double-check the report for errors but didn't compare the page with the docs side-by-side – a step where I would likely have caught the oversight. Gonna remove it.
