Not good at UX but the landing page is not following some basic conventions. The multiple saturated background colours are especially stressful.

Conventions which would help:

- add vertical padding between elements

- simplify illustrations or using icons

- use a consistent color palette

- use color sparingly

- at least one of black text and white background should be off-black or off-white respectively

- cookie request background should be a neutral color rather than yellow

- cookie request should be at the bottom of the screen rather than the top

- choose one hover event: animate the illustration or underline the text

- the footer should be at least 3 times the height

- replace "over the last year as of date" with "each year" then restore standard font weight

Fixing all of the above should take about an hour.




I don't understand. How can colors be stressful?
