I've done a small one page project with slider (owlcarousel) & CSS3 animations .

Could you please look at HTML, CSS & JS and check for possible improvements? Thanks in advance.

Here's a page

$(document).ready(function() {
     
        $('.menu-link,.btn-slider').smoothScroll({
            speed: 1000,
            offset: -80
        });
        
      $("#carousel").owlCarousel({
     
          navigation : false, // Show next and prev buttons
          slideSpeed : 300,
          paginationSpeed : 400,
          singleItem: true,
          autoPlay: true,
          beforeMove: function() {
              //$('.slide-content').eq(this.owl.currentItem).css('opacity','0');
              $('.slide').eq(this.owl.currentItem).find('.slide-title').removeClass('active');
              $('.slide').eq(this.owl.currentItem).find('.slide-text').removeClass('active');
          },
          afterMove: function() {
              //$('.slide-content').eq(this.owl.currentItem).css('opacity','1');
              var currentSlide = this.owl.currentItem;
              $('.slide').eq(currentSlide).find('.slide-title').addClass('active');
              setTimeout(function() {
                  $('.slide').eq(currentSlide).find('.slide-text').addClass('active');
              },1000);
          }
     
      });
        
        $('.slide').eq(0).find('.slide-title').addClass('active');
          setTimeout(function() {
              $('.slide').eq(0).find('.slide-text').addClass('active');
          },1000);
        
        var $menu = $('#main-menu');
        $('[data-target="main-menu"]').on('click',function() {
            if ($menu.is(':visible')) {
                $menu.hide();
            } else {
                $menu.show();
            }
        });
        $(window).on('resize', function() {
           if ($(this).width() < 768) {
               $menu.hide();
           } else {
               $menu.show();
           }
        });
     
    });

Looks pretty good overall. A few things:

  • Fewer file requests = faster page load. You can keep all the js and css separate while developing, but combine and minify before you publish. There are lots of tools that can automatically do this for you, including your text editor. Ideally you'd end up with all your css in one file (keep the order the same!) and all your js in one file (ditto), so you only have one <link rel="stylesheet"> and one <script src> on the page. (Or in your case, two, since you're loading in jquery from somewhere else.)

  • Speaking of imports, css @import is considered slow compared to just using a link tag to an external stylesheet. You can get that from Google Fonts as well. Include it before you include your own stylesheet link.

  • You've got JQuery loading in before your html tag even opens - don't. For most scripts, especially large ones, put the tags after your page content - generally right above </body>. Vendor/library scripts first, then your own.

  • You've got media queries, but no meta tag to tell the page to behave responsively. Put this in the <head>: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

It is always better to use any pre-processor like sass or less ( preferably sass) to write your code since it makes your code more manageable and avoids repeating. It is always better to seperate css completely from the html. For example rather than using bootstrap classes like nav-menu nav-collapse assigned to the same div you could do 

.nav-toogle{
   @extend .nav-menu;
   @extend .nav-collapse;
}

then assign nav-toogle class to that div. To make the code even more managble it is better to follow naming conventions using either smacss , BEM or OOCSS (preferably smacss). If you are not supporting internet explorer it is better to use flexbox it will make your code even cleaner and easier.
