Thanks a lot everyone for the feedback.

This is a great design !

The movement of the picture is really required ?

Thanks Baiju for the appreciation. Since I was drawing the artwork from scratch, I thought that parallax effect might be an interesting concept to experiment with and learn about. This library got me extremely excited: http://wagerfield.github.io/parallax/ In this the parallax effect will also work on mobile devices based on motion. I agree, that for the a simple conference page, it can be overkill.

Good work Pratyush.

Thank Atul.

From: Noufal Ibrahim <noufal@nibrahim.net.in> I'm not a design expert so my comments are to be taken with a few bags of salt.

It looks very nice but it's very generic. Like a stock theme. There's no Python/conference specific stuff in there.

Thanks Nouful for the honest feedback. I agree that it looks mostly generic as it was a quick prototype. For navigation and sections, I mostly copied the code from the previous years and other pycon conference pages. Vijay suggested to primarily focus on the basic theme (the artwork) to see if the thing can be worked out.

The design looks nice.But the navigation can be improved.For Eg: Once i click on Sponsors, there is no intuitive way to go back up.

That is a good idea Vaikuntham. Recently saw a good design where double clicking on background takes to the top. I will try to implement that effect in next few commits. Thank Vaikuntham for the appreciation.

Visited the site on a nexus 7. The site does not have a perfectly responsive design.

Hi Tarashish, yeah, the design is not responsive yet. There are no grids, bootstrap or multiple css. I was working on a quick prototype and this is hardly 100 lines of css. I am sure with the support of volunteers, we can even get it kicking on IE6 :). [Provided we like the design itself]

From: Bibhas Ch Debnath <me@bibhas.in>

Agree with Noufal. When there is an artwork on the website, it needs to be greatly related to the subject.

Hi Bibhas, thanks for the support and feedback. I have added the artwork file (inkscape svg) to the package: https://github.com/pratyushmittal/pycon-india-2014 I will confess that I am really bad at illustrations, but can make "inspired" stuff from given designs. So if you can provide a link to few good artworks and designs, I will to squees some ideas out of them :).

Using css3 effects are dazzling, but unrelated here. And I'd make few changes in the structure of the site. The boilerplate used is too generic, there could be better use of the empty spaces. Plus not responsive.

Yeah, I agree. Have answered few of them in above replies. [Basically was a quick prototype, and parallax experiment motivated me into this. It can be done away with to make the website simpler and faster].

This can work after few iterations. If possible I'd like to stay in the loop.

Sure Bibhas, that would be awesome. It is a brilliant project and has already tought me a lot of things including parallax working, github gh-pages, a lot of inkscape, some vector magic etc. Thanks again everyone.
