Sadly this is a story of excuses, so cutting a long story short...
We wanted to give the homepage a little revamp and makeover a while back (I know many saw it leaked by accident!), and we got uber excited about using video as part of the page, which is what the frogs is about
The message about being work in progress is my fault, because that yellow box is supposed to highlight some content on the site such as the new feature contributions, but obviously this isn't ready yet, which was bad planning on my part also
However that was all short term plans. As part of our long term plans, we wanted to redesign the whole site to make it a) more mobile friendly and b) make some changes to the layout where things clearly haven't worked out (such as tabs et al).
With the massive summer break for me in progress, I kinda also started work on the longer term plans to redesign the site from scratch again with the dreaded responsive structure to it, and from that I've had to do a lot of learning and upskilling with new fangled things like LESS CSS that I'm dabbling with.
But then a dreaded temporary house move struck me as the landlord wanted his house back 11 days sooner than I was supposed to be moving out. So I had to move out and back to family for that time, and throw everything into storage as I didnt want to drag it around for that short time - which means my PC and everything went into storage too.
So now I only have my laptop, no desk and nice chair and everything else, and I'm finding it incredibly difficult to work to get anything done with a laptop on a sofa
I've also had a family business website to throw up (stupid family pressure) and ecommerce to sort out inbetween, so its been a nightmare. Yeah yeah, excuses I know, but Saz said I was allowed to suspend my work for a week until I'm moved back on 1st August, so I won't have the whip cracked until then
TL;DR - So yes. In short, we changed the homepage to give it a cleaner look, but never quite finished it perfectly as contribute wasn't ready, but then I decided to start on my longer term project to redesign the site which was planned anyway, which was then interrupted by moving.
So in short the homepage will likely be styled differently come mid-August, along with much of the site hopefully, offering a better experience for those on mobiles too.
