Here's a codepen of the spinner itself: https://codepen.io/lenymo/pen/qwKPov
Looks legit. Nice work. Did you hand-code this bad boy or use a static site generator?
I find myself wanting to click on the thumbnail images on the home page.
This looks cool, it's a neat idea to socialise trading. I have some feedback from the perspective of not knowing anything about Pelican Trading before seeing this:
It's not immediately obvious from either your tagline or your sub-title that you're talking about stock market / crypto trading. My initial impression was of a Shopify / Etsy style marketplace.
Some subtle chart imagery in the page header would help provide some additional visual communication.
As a means of comparison, Acorns (a vaguely similar app) leaves me with no questions as to the purpose of the app.
The video was effective in communicating the app's purpose.
I feel like the iPhone X frames are a little visually "heavy" and a gray silhouette of the X might make the mockups themselves pop a little more. The repeated layouts with 4 mockups tends to make the mockups look very same-y and I tend not to focus on an individual screenshot.
There's a lot going on and a ton of screenshots before I'm 100% clear on what I'm looking at. I actually feel like the "waterfall" layouts from the old site are more effective in communicating the app's purpose.
I don't see why, it uses CSS filter: blur(20px) which has decent support aside from IE (of course): https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-filters

These are the types of animations this article is about: https://codepen.io/lenymo/full/qozOWa/https://codepen.io/lenymo/full/debyMM/https://codepen.io/lenymo/full/aGobRN/
Definitely chuck it on Reddit if you haven't already. Would be well received on both https://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/
I'm happy to share it if you aren't on the reddits.
Here is my basic example using material-design-style form fields: https://codepen.io/lenymo/full/qVpeOz/
Thanks Kevin!
