Our own front page, and a footer for everyone

The front page shows Front Door's own screens instead of photos, and the footer has a place for people, organizations and agencies.

Illustration: Our own front page, and a footer for everyone

The front page used stock photos under the big box, and it looked too much like America.gov. Now it shows Front Door itself.

  • Under the box on the front page and every state page, a card shows what Front Door does for each example. “Can I get SNAP food benefits?” lights up SNAP among New York’s own program names, like Child Health Plus and Temporary Assistance. “My power is about to be shut off” shows a Home Energy Assistance application filled in from your vault, waiting for you to read and sign. “I got a letter from OTDA” shows the letter turning into a task with a due date.
  • The national front page shows how the same help has a different name in each state, like SNAP, CalFresh, Medicaid, Medi-Cal and MassHealth.
  • There are no photos on these pages anymore, and the photo credits page is gone. The page loads text first, with nothing to download for the card.
  • The footer now has three groups. For people: get help, all states, how it works, your account, privacy and accessibility. For organizations: food banks, clinics, shelters and other community groups can list their services for free. For agencies: claim your state page and staff sign in.
  • The line at the bottom says Front Door is not affiliated with any state or federal agency, and that it is inspired by America.gov. A link to this changelog sits beside it.
  • A new page, For organizations, explains how to claim a listing that is already in Help nearby, or how to add an organization that is not listed yet.
  • The header on the front page now links How it works, For organizations and For agencies. State pages keep their own links.
  • Smaller fixes: one “How it works” button under the feature rows instead of one under each, a checklist for “What Front Door does in New York” with no empty gap, and masked numbers that no longer break onto two lines on a phone.
