Yes, I totally agree with you. The animation on the cover wasn’t supposed to be there but I found some titles don’t fit well below the cover, hence the animation. But it will look much better if removed.
Regarding the small screens, only the first page don’t degrade well. The reason is I start to build the website using asp.net web forms and in the middle I change to asp.net web pages but still need to convert the first page (default.aspx), all the others degrade fine. Is on my task list for the next release.
Wishing you a nice day!
