My one criticism would be that the logo is far too small. Well done!

Thanks and congrats! I have one issue with icons display on my laptop, although they display well on my phone: http://imgur.com/lZWgWI4 http://imgur.com/KZWBiVr Usually this kind of issues is due to my use of script blocker, but disabling it and reloading the page does not seem to fix it. Any idea?

The code sample is not for me or anyone that already knows D, but for newcomer that wonder what the hell D is about. If I can't understand it at first glance, then it is missing it's goal BY FAR. - Learn barely make the cut on my 15' monitor. That's way too low. If one doesn't know D, one doesn't care about news, community or whatever. - Widget are still broken on https. - The download button is small while surrounded by wasted grey area. BIG FAT DOWNLOAD WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE. - Please don't make me click on the menus. You can also make them work with pure CSS using :hover - A light touch of green would make the page much nicer (complementary color, all that good fun). - Look and feel of packages and forum need to follow. While I complains like a grumpy old man, I'd like to congrats people that makes this happen. This is very good for D. Good job.

I echo this, and would add a further point that you should have tested all sub-domains before uploading.  Release archive is not looking well.

I can offer a hyphenation tool (http://code.dlang.org/packages/hyphenate), but wiring it up w/ our dlang.org build requires some work.
