Great work @henilp105! I have some notes that you might want to consider:

- The Section titles in `Compilers` and `News` are coloured inconsistently when compared to something like `Learn`  
 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/fortran_lang/original/2X/c/c0c2deb2a81e034fe7175fae5d25840213bf1766.png)  
vs

In general, I think we should agree on a colour scheme for sections, subsections, etc. and follow it across all pages.
- IMO the icons in `Community` are too big, I would scale them down by ~1/3, reduce the gutter spacing to ~1/5 and also chose a larger grid size, say 6xN
- I would also consider adding some colour on the FAB icons on the landing page, Twitter, Discourse, RSS, etc.
- I am not sure how useful the search bar is in fortran-lang in the current format. I think we need to polish a bit the way results are displayed. For example type `lectures` and see what I mean.

One thing we should think about is what results should be served via the search.

On a more general note I am a fan of minimal landing pages that do not contain too much info and are captivating yet easy on the eyes. However, I very much understand that this is probably not in scope of the GSoC project and that you have simply converted the existing landing page to Sphinx.

I might have some more comments once I spent some more time on your new webpage. If I do I will post them here.

Again, great work!

**Live preview** of this PR is available at gh-pages of my repo : [The Fortran Programming Language — Fortran Programming Language](https://henilp105.github.io/webpage/en/index.html) . The URL has been changed **As we have decided to shift the Sphinx site to a new repo to avoid build conflicts and to preserve the existing site at a subdomain**.

Thanks and Regards,
