Lessons should be prominently visible on the front page #161

On the old layout, the lessons pages were immediately noticeable in the sidebar.

There was also a link to Basics on the very bottom of the front page.

With the new layout however, the lessons pages are hidden behind a nav bar toggle. A skim of the page does not lead readers to where they want to go. (The sentence saying "you'll find what you need in lessons" won't be seen on first pass. It should also at least contain a link to assist with navigation.)

Some possible ideas:

  • insert a section between "Welcome to Elixir School!" and "Why Elixir?" to contain a table of contents of the lessons
  • insert a large button link for Basics to the "Welcome to Elixir School!" section, similar to the button that was on the bottom of the front page before
  • only on the front page, change the nav bar's Lessons toggle menu to be expanded and uncollapsible, while moving the text sections down, such that "Welcome to Elixir School!" starts halfway down the page (this would only help the non-mobile layout and would probably wouldn't look as good)
