[~zregvart] I find the behaviour of the search bar a little odd. Generally, when user start typing a query, the drop-down gives options for word-completion. Example, typing "Qu" should give Quarkus, Questions etc. and when the user selects an option or hits enter, they are directed to a separate page with the search results, so that they can browse through all relevant links. https://www.apache.org/ does something similar. I feel this makes the user experience better. If you agree, I can make a sub-task for this and work on it. If not so, I still think the search result box can be presented better (We should highlight the word that matches the search and need some hover effect for each link) and I want to work on it. Please let me know your take on this. Thank you!

> The current Apache Camel website can use some help with the usability. I've identified the following areas that could improve:
> * simpler top level navigation: currently we have Blog, Projects, Documentation, Community, Download, About; some of these also have sub-menu items. I think we could benefit from a simpler organization and perhaps get rid of sub-menus and serve pages with content regarding each section (e.g. documentation page could have pointers to different kinds of documentation we currently have on the sub-menu)
> * accessibility (readability/contrast/...): we should run audits and make sure that the website is accessible
> * rework menus on low resolution: make sure that the menus are large enough and readable on lower resolution
