@jeetalovesu Here are some quick notes:

  • Use Firefox OS orange from Firefox OS color swatches.
  • Contrast on social media icons is too low. Black on dark orange is not very soothing to the eye. Have a recheck after changing the colour.
  • Avoid using the Fox in the background for "Generate A Firefox OS App". I don't think we can legally use it here.
  • "Marketplace" may move above "What is Applait" in menu dropdown. Also, it may be called "Explore" instead of "Marketplace". Need a quick thought from @debloper on this.
  • Need to figure out how to show "Create app" button in the nav for mobile screens.

Great start @jeetalovesu! My feedback on this are:

  1. The current typeface in use is more readable & unique than the suggested Comfortaa family
  2. Comfortaa isn't much readable as body-text as well. I would suggest Pompiere or the likes.
  3. I like the first-section dark-grey. The body-text color could be one shade lighter.
  4. Can we try with variants of vibrant shades of Red (Rose/Carmine/Cadmium) instead of Orange?
  5. Let's show the in page next-section button on all pages instead of the last one in desktop-version.
  6. Let's not show the next-section button on the mobile view, but show just the menu button instead.
  7. The Create App button should be just as wide as the input fields.
  8. The hover state of the social media buttons can be inverted colors instead of lighter shades.

This is a good article on Smashing Magazine to decide a good body-font & which all bases to cover.

Additionally, it's difficult to decide on either of these four fonts. Each have some pros and cons without a clear win-factor.

Whereas, our already used typefaces Monserrat & Merriweather are much better in many consideration aspects. We were just using them all wrong. We just need to switch body-text to Montserrat & Heading-texts to Merriweather (and disable forced uppercase).

Can you please check how does that work?
