First impressions! The new webpage looks really slick and edgy.

1. Featured Items

I kinda want this featured component to have like it's own box or something. It just seems out of place to have the text floating off to the side like that

2. Side Panel

Part of me thinks there should be an edgy side panel for the animation section to all of this so I can click and get to the slide that interest me most? And it’ll also give me a quick overview of what’s on homepage at first glance

3. Too much open space on scalablility slide

I kinda feel like there’s too much open space here on this slide . Like the text here should be bigger, or there should be perhaps a list of featured companies that have taken advantage of the scalibilty, or something in the animation should be used to show the scalability.

4 Mobile View

Mobile view looks a bit off in terms of the background. I know this one is probably a bit tricky but maybe it should be centered on the road?

5. Menu

This menu looks a lot better than our current one

6. Rainbow Bridge

I totally think there should be a "read more" button that leads to the docs here for the rainbow bridge ``

I think that @thisisjoshford idea was mostly focused on developer path feedback

in the node section, there is no actual guide about how to setup an rpc node, just a list of hardware requirements. If the setup process is the same as other nodes at lease we should mention it and put a reference link

I also added some comments in the google doc.

I think there might be a little too much on the looks side and not enough on the functionality and UX side. Only talking from the perspective of how a dev would feel and how easy it is to find information, I've got some points I'd like to outline:

• The scrolling is slow and there are a lot of animations which increases the time it takes to find information.
• There aren't many immediate calls to action. On the old site, there were two buttons immediately that said "start coding" and "join the community"
• The new site doesn't show the Docs in the navbar (which I think is critical)
• The developer tab in the navbar is sorta complicated. For reference, this is where I'm redirected when I click the developer tab in the old site:

  This is what I see when I click the developer tab in the new site:

  

  I think we want to keep it simple and sweet to make finding information as easy as possible.

The TLDR would be as a developer, on the new site, I'm not too sure what to do and where to go. When I click on anything, there might be too much information and I get lost in the sauce.
