Hi Ruchiranga,

Thank you for your interest in helping us!
The best way to start contributing is to get in touch with the project
team.
Unfortunately I am not the best person to help with WICKET-3341. This task
requires requires more web design skills than (web) development skills.
>From the short resume of your skills I see that you are like me - more a
mathematician/logical guy than an artist.
Anyway, if you think that you can help and this task would be fun for you
then you have these options:

*) clone https://github.com/dashorst/wicket-site and improve it
*) create a completely new design

In both cases you can share your work with us (by giving us the url to your
GitHub/BitBucket/... project) and/or attaching screenshots in the ticket.
I can help you with the setup of Jekyll - the tool we use to build the
static site.
I hope other people here will help you with the task itself - the web
design.
