Why don't you create a mockup of how you think the site should look
like? I agree that the design feels dated, but I'm not sure how it
should be changed to be better and more helpful to the intended
audience, and not just prettier and more modern looking.
I'm not sure what other answer you were expecting. It's not that the
OpenJDK community has a lot of web designers hanging around and
willfully ignoring the website, just because nobody has pointed out that
the design might be lacking...
Instead, my suggestion is that you design some sketch of what you are
thinking about, send out a link to that, and perhaps give some
rationales or arguments for why this should be more functional than the
current site. That could then be a more constructive ground for further
discussion in the community.

Dear Web Group,
I'm writing to propose a redesign of the OpenJDK website
(https://openjdk.org/) to enhance its design and user experience. This
is a follow-up to my previous thread from May 2020
(https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/web-discuss/2020-May/thread.html)
The current OpenJDK website's design appears outdated, resembling a
site from decades past. A modern and intuitive website is crucial for
a project of OpenJDK's significance, improving navigation, visual
appeal, mobile optimization, and overall user experience. This will
ensure key resources are easily accessible, the site is engaging and
professional, and it functions seamlessly across devices.
I'm eager to contribute to this effort and collaborate with the
community to create a website that effectively serves the OpenJDK
project. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
Sincerely,
Suren Konathala
