Ty  - these designs look wonderful.

Ty/Tara/John/Matej - I'm free until 3pm. Can we have a call today to discuss, before we make the handover to Mike?

Thanks

Looks great Ty!  I set up a call for us to chat later today.

Few quick thoughts and 2 cents from me:

* I love the parallax navigation concept in theory... but do we really feel like it's necessary for this page?  Seems better suited for a longer page with way more content to navigate through than the more simple page we've got here.  I mean, there are technically two links there and the first one would barely move you on the page b/c it's the first block of content already pretty high up above the fold. I feel like the page is easy to digest with a brief scroll than the need for complex navigation.  Another reason why I feel it may not work well is because as you scroll down, you'll then have two big (and similarly styled) buttons: one for Apps and one for the Newsletter.  I don't think that will look very good.  At least what I see here and imagining it live on a desktop experience. 

* That said, I think the flow need an additional button/link or some sort of an appropriate jumping off point towards the end of the page to submit apps since the button is only at the top.

Per our call:

* Page looks great - nice work Ty!
* Copy is great - nice work Matej!
* Lets remove the fancy parallax navigation
* Hyperlink the "submit your app" at the bottom.

Lets hand off to get this puppy built, and see how it performs / make tweaks as needed.

Thanks Ty.  
Dan, please make the official hand-off to webdev.  I'm marking the design portion closed.
