The pictures are lovely. The website is looking refined and the menu is logical and makes sense. It looks great both on my mobile and my laptop. I tested it with both chrome and firefox.
+1 for replacement. For any minor changes we can always improve later. Once it is published, I can start working on adding gradle to automate publishing and maybe later change the underlying templates to FreeMarker. Thank you for this work, it's a breath of fresh air and a big marketing boost to OFBiz.
