Description

We should create a partner page so we can link to different partner offering that we have, including:

• Rexroth
• AWS
• Digital Ocean

I would have the page linked under the company menu.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

I have provided an initial effort estimate

Thinking about this a bit more. We need to define some partner categories. I think we have the following:

• Referral partners - what have this page https://flowfuse.com/partners/
• Hosting partners - AWS and Digital Ocean
• PLC Partners - Bosch Rexroth

Some text for the page.

We should repurpose the existing partner page https://flowfuse.com/partners/ with this new page. The existing page should be moved to https://flowfuse.com/partners/referral-sign-up

HI @iskerrett I've created a mockup with the information you provided in this issue. Should the logos be linked to specific pages? For instance, should the Rexroth logo link to the /ctrlx page?

Under the 'Partners' section, I've added an 'Apply Now' button that will link to the /referral-sign-up page.

Please let me know if this aligns with your vision or if you have a reference for something different.

I looked for references, but most of them seem to emphasize the benefits of being a partner. Do we offer any benefits? Just thinking if we could add more info to this page.

Here are a few references I found (not all are in the same industry as us):
https://www.mendix.com/partners/
https://monday.com/partnership
https://www.wrike.com/partners/

I like the layout. The Rexroth logo should link to the /ctrlx page. The other should link to the following:
AWS https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-3ycrknfg67rug
Digital Ocean https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/flowforge

The referral partners should just link to the company home page. @MarianRaphael needs to confirm with each referral partner if they are okay with us hosting their logo.

I wouldn't worry about benefits right now. I'd rather do a fast iteration on this page so we can move on to other pages.

The referral partners should just link to the company home page.

So, should I remove the button that links to the /referral-sign-up page?

No please keep the link to the sign-up page. We want to encourage more referral partners.

I'll reach out and check if it's okay for them
