Converted this to a draft PR.

We are currently not looking into re-designing the website it self. Any changes to the navbar would have to be reflected across all our projects and currently the AUR is styled the same as archlinux.org so we have to keep that consistent.

Big design changes need to be brought up in an issue first with detailed proposed changes, and agreed upon within the Arch Linux Team.

Generally I would be quite in favor of an updated look, however I'm not a big fan of the many round corners and "generic" css-library website look that the current proposal contains 🤗

If we're using some fonts we should bundle them with the built website
