Let me try :slight_smile:

You made a very good start, and kinda like it but at the same time I see a lot of minor issues. I agree with the rejection.

  • The cover image is very nice and have the premium feel to it. But the text within the buttons isn’t properly centered.
  • There is no spacing at the logo in the header navigation. Also, typography can use some more attention, personally don’t like the combination off letter-spacing and font-size. And the ellipsis icon at blog page is bad UX in my opinion, I couldn’t guess its functionality beforehand.
  • The use of icons; I see two sets of icons being used and for me they don’t fit together. The use of font-awesome in this use-case gives the page a generic feel. And try to be consistent sometimes a thin-line border is being used and then an odd shaped thick border for the next section.
  • Section heading feels off, needs more bottom margin. And think the line is too far from the h2.
  • I saw a section, which has text aligned left and button float right, which causes some visual tension.
  • Footer is too vibrant in my opinion
  • General typography!

Note: I have not looked into code quality and responsive.

It is a long list and don’t want you to think I am bashing your design and it’s bad. It is not, I can see the visual language you only need a higher attention to detail!

Hope this helps!
Cheers
