Hello,
I've been D enthusiast for couple of years now (but I do not
participate much in discussions here, although I read forums
almost daily), and I keep telling people about D and how
awesome it is.
But, all this time D's official website somehow archaic look
kept troubling me. It reminds me of early 2000's design and I
really cannot associate this design with "modern" or "elegant",
what D really is.
I think that we must invest time and energy improving the
website's look and feel as that is what people first coming to
D will see. We need to strive for "wow" and not "meh" as a
first impression.
So I have started this thread to see if there is a chance for
complete redesign of dlang.org.
I have also tried to design something myself (although I'm not
a designer) and this is what I came up with:
http://krcko.net/dlang.org/dlang-home-draft1.png
I'm not entirely satisfied with it but I believe that it looks
better (or at least more modern) than the current design.
So, what do you guys think?

Looks pretty well. What I don't like is dark background for
section of code. I prefer reading text on light background. But
tastes differ! For example OS console on Windows or Linux is
usually has dark background.
