Key Deadlines

• [x] March 21, 2016: Updated website

[Melechuga]

Hi @cassiemc @kristinashu! Apologies for coming out of left-field; I should've put this on your radars a heartbeat ago. We close our OWF applications at midnight (PT) March 20th. It would be good to update the messaging on the website on March 21st to:

• Thank people for their interest
• Explain the application window is closed.
• Explain that those who've applied will hear from the Open Web Fellows team directly.

We should keep the program information available for candidates as we review applications; I think the only major changes would be in the header + footer:

1. Delete "apply now" button
2. New messaging in the footer.

Thoughts? cc @brettgaylor

@Melechuga I can mock up the design changes at the start of the week. @ScottDowne do you think you'll be able to make the dev updates before March 21st?
