Just add the 4 examples I suggested, and you have a brand-new
beginner-friendly website without changing anything else to
the website canvas.
If you want a change in D's web presence submit a PR to [1] or
one of [2] as appropriate.
[1] https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org
[2] https://github.com/dlang-tour
No problem, but first I'd like to have the design changes
validated prior to making them.
That's how web developers do with their customers.
1. suggest the changes
2. have the changes accepted
3. make the changes
Unless I've missed you being contracted to do these changes, this
model doesn't apply. It's not other people who want you to do
some work (and as they are paying you have a vested interest in
evaluating it), it's you who wants changes.
Because there is no interest in making changes that won't be
accepted eventually...
To be frank, this is how things usually get done in open source
(outside of corporate interests):
One commits to doing something, does it, then asks for people to
review the result, and finally tries to get it accepted.
One does this often enough successfully in a particular group of
people and one earns recognition by their group peers
(reputation).
Starting and/or participating in discussions can be valuable to
the community and may yield reputation, as well, but one can't
realistically expect receiving preapproval for ideas unless one
has proven to actually follow through on them and contribute
tangible results.

project you earn recognition there
