Hi again, here is my new proposal with round corners and slight shadow in the post preview, and with 3 medal iterations. The footer was adjusted too.

If there is something else from the theme you would like that I consider please let more know more specific.

Everything can be achieved with CSS (I am a front-end dev too).

Also I wish you consider the version with the intro banner, it could have a very nice video of someone working in their workshop, or fade different images selected from pixabay/pexels which are CC0.

Thanks for your attention :)
