Now it's working! Well... it's clean, but of course needs more polishing, like taking out a few border colors for example, but another thing that I liked was the buttons on top.

Personally I prefer the buttons on the side.
Probably 99% of people have widescreen format now (at leas 16:9), so I feel buttons at the top use up precious vertical space.

This is of course all down to preference!

Also, I love how the site handles mobile well. Very nice!

It looks good. A bit more clear than the current one. Not a fan of the drop downs though. Just personal taste.

All in all, though, is that design really so much different from the current one? Yes, the frontpage / color scheme looks nicer, but it's not that big of a diff, or?

If the D website maintainers are to put an effort into changing its design, would it not be preferable to go "all-in" and jazz it up, e.g. like http://www.scala-lang.org/ ?

For instance, I am pretty new to D, and when I entered the D website I was not looking for code samples, but a list of features or core concepts / principles. The code sample on the frontpage did nothing for me. But that's just me. I would rather know what companies use D, and for what - or what big frameworks / tools were available in D etc.

I would like to know this, too.  Scala's website is really beautiful.

But, I would prefer a design like https://ocaml.org/ -- simple, clean, and efficient.

Thanks for doing this, a thorough website redesign is much needed.

The mock up already looks modern and much friendlier than the current website.

The top menu is 40px high. The left menu of the current dlang.org is 224px wide. A top menu uses the space more efficient. I also think it's easier to adapt for mobile with a top menu.
