That is amazing work, I really like the clean lines between the tiles and the centered 'Get Started' button. The top bar is great too and the green/purple colors really help the words jump out of the page.

The "movement" effect on the tiles however is IMHO not a great idea. Unless I stare at the tiles long enough, I don't realize there is a fade-in/out effect, the pictures that are faded out just look bad.

Thanks! I agree about the pulsating effect on the tiles, it's something we tried out but it doesn't work. It'll be gone soon :)

Yes, we tried to add some animation but it was a bad idea. It will be removed tomorrow :)
