Hi Ian, I like the website, it's very informative!
My only suggestion might be to add a bit of color contrast in and between some of the sections: Feature Overview and Getting Started sections, and on the Download page. I felt like the content of these sections and the download page was harder for me to visually follow because the columns bleed together a bit. As an example of how it might be adjusted: http://jekyllrb.com/, on the Jekyll website, you can see how the red bar in the middle splits the page between features, installation instructions, and hosting information. The feature columns on this site are narrow, which makes each paragraph a bit easier to follow.
