Continuing changes to focus on open source in the top nav and get rid of the drop-down menus that get in the way whenever looking through the site. https://redis.io/docs/staging/new-nav/


Note

Medium Risk
Site-wide header/footer navigation is restructured and several labels/targets change, so the main risk is broken links or degraded discoverability across desktop/mobile layouts.

Overview
Header navigation is simplified by removing the Products/Resources dropdown menus and replacing them with direct links (AI agent builder, Redis install, Data types, Tools, Community), plus updated styling/positioning for the AI nav pill.

CTAs are adjusted by removing Pricing/Book a meeting/Try Redis placements in the header and mobile menu and standardizing on a Sign up link/button.

Footer is condensed by tightening spacing and removing large Use Cases/Industries sections, leaving a smaller set of link columns and reformatting the legal links for desktop.

Removed data-products-mobile-menu-toggle and aria-expanded from the
AI Agent builder <li> — the JS handler queries [data-products-mobile-menu]
which no longer exists after the dropdown partial was removed.

LGTM, though I think I'd prefer to see "AI agent builder" instead of "AI Agent builder" just to be consistent with the other menu items.

I'll add Docs back as reviewer so other folks get a chance to comment.

Basically LGTM, but one question I'd consider is whether the AI agent builder is the best thing we could have in that highly prominent link? I do think it's a cool feature I'm not sure if it's the best entry point for someone evaluating Redis for an AI task. Maybe you could keep the button as it is but then add more links out to the other AI content in the intro to the agent builder page?

Hi @andy-stark-redis thanks for reviewing, so what I was thinking was that the main home page content serves the entry point purpose, that is the extra main section I added recently with links to all the top-level AI docs pages and context engine. This button gets them back to the AI area (or might bring others to this area from any docs page) and yeah shows off the cool agent builder. Below the agent builder there are a lot of links to more information I think on that page, but I will take a look at that as well.

Desktop "Sign up" button lost font-bold styling

Low Severity

The desktop "Sign up" button had font-bold removed compared to the old "Try Redis" button, but the mobile "Sign up" button still retains font-bold. This creates an inconsistency where the same primary CTA renders with different font weights across breakpoints. The removal looks accidental since both buttons share the same purpose and label.
