ETHDO.ME: A Portal to the ETHDenver Experience (Part 1)

Wiggles

I’m thrilled to introduce you to this next-level website, packed with dynamic visuals and interactive elements galore. In this Part 1 post, we’ll explore the sleek design philosophy behind ETHDO.ME and do a quick dive into some of the powerful technology under the hood. Trust me, there’s a lot going on behind those gorgeous animations and smooth scrolls!

A Splash of Creativity and Simplicity

What’s the first thing you notice when you land on ETHDO.ME? Probably the stunning visuals. I poured my heart and soul into designing a site that’s exciting, engaging, and downright beautiful to look at—but also super-intuitive. Surprisingly, half of the work was in simplifying: trimming away any fluff so you can quickly grasp what ETHDO.ME is all about without feeling lost in a sea of text. The result? A website that feels sophisticated yet effortless to navigate.

Why Keep It Simple?

  • Less Overwhelm: A minimalistic style helps you focus on the most important info.
  • Clear Calls to Action: Boldly highlighted buttons and links guide you toward your next move.
  • Streamlined User Experience: No complicated menus or confusing flows—just a direct path from A to B.

Under the Hood: The Tech That Makes It Happen

While ETHDO.ME’s front end might look like a digital art piece come to life, the real magic is happening in the backend. I’ve built a robust system designed to handle everything from organizing team members and volunteers to scheduling events and managing sponsor communications—all in one place.

Highlights of the Backend

  • All-in-One Organization Tools: Communication, scheduling, accounting, contracting, HR—you name it.
  • Custom-Built Features: Everything is designed around the unique needs of ETHDO.ME and ETHDenver.
  • Seamless User Flow: Whether you’re an artist, sponsor, volunteer, or just trying to learn more.

Fast and Easy Login

Want to jump right in? ETHDO.ME/join/ makes it effortless to create an account:

  • Web3 Wallet: Connect virtually any wallet (with WalletConnect).
  • Email Sign-Up: Don’t have a wallet yet? No problem. An account is automatically created for you, complete with a non-custodial wallet so you can rack up points, tokens, and NFTs by playing quests.

This flexible login means anyone can get involved—whether you’re a seasoned BUIDLer, crypto-curious, or completely new to Web3.

ETHDO.ME Application System v2

This is the core of everything: a way for the ETHDenver community to get directly involved in co-creating the ETHDO.ME experience. We’ve broken it down into 6 unique applications, each tailored to different types of contributors:

  • Artist — Visual artists and VJs who want to share their art on ETHDO.ME or our holographic displays.
  • Mentor — Knowledgeable folks eager to share wisdom with new and experienced BUIDLers.
  • Workshop — Speakers and facilitators who want to host unique and immersive workshops.
  • Volunteer — Awesome humans willing to donate time and energy to make ETHDO.ME shine.
  • Musician — DJs or musicians who want to rock out on our Funktion One sound system.
  • Maker Project — BUIDLers who want to showcase their creations at ETHDenver.

Every application triggers an email confirmation (complete with an application ID) and notifies both the ETHDenver and ETHDO.ME teams for review. After that, a few clicks let us reject, request more info, shortlist, or accept. Once approved, applicants get access to a Co-creator Dashboard, which becomes their one-stop shop for communication, scheduling, and relevant tools.

The Sponsor Section

Sponsors are the lifeblood of ETHDenver, and we’ve rolled out the red carpet for them:

  • Browse the ETHDO.ME Deck: Find all the info about sponsorship packages.
  • Easy Sponsor Meeting Scheduling: Hop on a call to iron out goals and details.
  • Sign the Sponsor Agreement: Choose from four unique packages to suit their organization’s vision.
  • Payments: Pay with credit card, bank transfer, Ethereum, USDT, or even $spork!
  • Sponsor Onboarding: Once everything’s official, the sponsor enters their info, uploads logos, etc.

Finally, sponsors get their own Sponsor Dashboard, serving as a centralized hub for project updates, creative asset downloads, schedules, and direct communication.

Maker Meetup RSVP System

Getting hands-on with your creativity is part of the ETHDO.ME spirit! If you’re eager to dive into some pre-ETHDenver action, we’ve got you covered:

  • Free Meetup Tickets: Grab a ticket for our Pre-ETHDenver Maker Meetups on Jan 18, Jan 25, and Feb 1 (12–5 pm at Gypsy House Cafe).
  • QR Code Ticket: Once you sign up, you’ll get an emailed QR code—easy peasy.
