New home page design

Hi,

We are just looking into update community homepage alone into new design. Do you have any suggestion?

As i planned to consider following things while create a new design,
- Create a new skin, and start update the respective wrapper header and footer.
- Keep existing CSS on both mobile and desktop, and modify only to add specific CSS changes with respect to the new design.
- List out the components used in the homepage, and try to recreate those component and which meet new design requirement.
- Add additional components into the existing home page layout, based on the new design requirement.
- Based on the requirement, we can switch over into old skin and new skin during the new development.

So please suggest, if there is any best practice we can follow.

    Yes, you can do it easily. You just need to inherit the old skin into the new one. In new skin, you only need to update the CSS for changes design only.  
    You can also switch the skin whenever you want if you are not changing any component. But if you want to recreate the component then it would not work the old skin on new components as you added the new CSS for the recreated component in the newly created skin.
