Simple site and a few links. I am a big fan of contents management systems but when it comes to the user they are generally not what a first time visitor is looking for.

I get the feeling the first page of every site needs to be a text to read. A text that fills a page a or so. This is what makes the visitir become a user or not. They will make up their mind when reading the first page. Like in a newspaper. I generally read the first few paragraphs to get a clue what they are talking about skipping ahead and if I decided this is worth my time I fully read it. > > It's done using OpenOffice and produces a reasonable flyer.
