Since you're soliciting feedback:

Meh.

Are any of your 'proposals' couched in actual community and problem research?

What problems are you solving with each of these answers you suggest?

Do you realize and can you show the evidence of the actual ramifications of all of your suggestions?

As a designer, you should know that if you want to design a website representing something, you've got to know the people you're representing.

The getmonero site is to represent the Monero project, and therefore it must report on the activities of the thing which generates the project: the contributors!!

So, I will ask you to come into IRC, and gather actual requirements, problems, feedback, and concrete use-cases from the people contributing and stewarding the project. These are the people who generate the project. These are the only people from which you will be able to get the information which is required to do a proper design of the site.

Without it, as we can clearly read above in your post, you will not be able to identify and solve any of the extant problems which need a design solution.

Instead, your suggestions will remain as answers in search of problems.

Those answers without problems always make us do something useless.

And what's more, they will make the website more ambiguous and unclear, and dilute how well it transmits of the real values of Monero.

However, I'm not sure if you would be able to accept an invitation from me to come talk with us in IRC, because if you do, you will also find that there is a group of core website contributors who have already done a ton of actual contributor and requirements research, and solid design, and are some miles ahead of your work so far. And the clincher of it is that they have done nothing but solicit your feedback, and the feedback of the rest of the community. So your obviously ill-spirited jab at rehrar about the footer only serves to illuminate how apparently blind you were to his consistent and repeated requests for feedback here on reddit and on IRC. Either that, or you were too stubborn, or grudgeful to go talk to him. Or that you had motive to work against some people in the community who are definitely working to better the community. None of that reflects well on you at all – especially as you claim you are a better designer. Designers are communicators. Did you ever give Rehrar your feedback about his footer before coming here and causing a big stink, claiming that it was enough of a reason to fork off an entirely separate website design project?

Is your suggestion of some links and a layout for the footer the main improvement you are suggesting here, or is that the colors and emotions? Or the parallax effect?

Are you aware that the website group has already been holding consensus-generated meetings after the #monero-dev and #kovri-dev meetings?

The reason I ask you this is very practical: are you really willing to take on all the responsibilities that the existing group of website contributors, including Diego (rehrar), has taken on?

Are you going to maintain your website source-code for the long-haul and keep gathering feedback and keep improving it?

Are you working on this website proposal because you're actually interested in Monero and the community itself? Or is it because or something else?

Because there are people here who are willing to work on designing a legitimate website even though they're not getting compensated for it at all, and do it because they are truly interested in Monero, itself.

The fact that there is a loose group of website contributors who are far more informed than you only means that to inform yourself of all of their information is in your best interest as a designer who is representing that he more diligent than rehrar. So your decision here will tell me something.

Those who are genuinely interested in the project/technology, and community itself, rather than having some conflicting ulterior motive, would not consistently reject the opportunity to learn humbly from the existing contributors. That has been shown in history time and time again. So something completely tangential to Monero must be going on here, wouldn't you say?
