Thanks for the feedback.  I'll move forward with it.

Since Vesa went into specifics, I'll respond to his items directly.

That will likely increase the height of the banner.  Do you think it's ok
if it gets taller?

That should be possible at full screen resolution but due to the overflow
nature of the content on smaller screens, some window dimensions won't be
even.

It's currently sitting at it's natural spacing between a heading and a
paragraph element.  I will overwrite the default style and try that out.

That was actually intentional because it's a tiled JPG and weighs in at a
very small file size but point taken.  It will be easily replaceable via
github once the commit is in.

This is something I hadn't brought up yet, but we're currently working with
a vanilla bootstrap theme so our buttons currently look like the rest of
the world.  I'd be happy to override these colors with ones we've chosen
that better personalize the page.  Would you propose we do it site-wide, or
a one-off use for the jumbotron only?

Same height considerations as the button recommendations.  It's a
transparent PNG so it can easily be replaced.
