We're pretty B2B, so we just subtly rotate the whole page by -2.5 to +2.5 deg. https://www.toptranslation.com/ (Supports the DNF protocol, btw.)

Check the DNF implementation:

Without DNF: http://img.ly/3ksI Enable DNF: http://img.ly/3ksL Presto! http://img.ly/3ksM

Also, we now rotate every element on the page instead of just the body. Shakes things up! :)
