One small point: I think it was good in the old site to have a link to the documentation right at the top, where now there are just "Packages" and "Download". We have great documentation (with a great design, thanks to Matthew!), better put it forward :) > 2. Greyed out code snippets - I am not a fan of too much greyed out text or > code.

I second that, and the drawings for the first 6 boxes could probably be darker too, I find them a bit hard on the eye. Also, I didn't notice the [click for more] text at first, maybe make it stand out a bit more? Finally, is the new design accessible? I think the opacity:0 should still allow screen readers to process the hidden text without "hovering", but I'm not 100% sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

It causes unnecessary eye strain. +1 Some additional comments: I am a bit uncomfortable with the heading "make languages" at the top. Although it is a fair description of Racket, I think that particular phrasing might serve to frighten novices into thinking Racket is too difficult to learn, or worse, that it is just a "tool to make tools". In place of "make languages" I would say something more like "powerful, versatile programming". At the top of the #lang(uage) example section, I would add a line about how "Racket is many languages in one" (or similar), and then at the end of the section add a blurb about how you can "make [your own] languages". Also, both the Software and Documentation sections are well off the screen when you are looking at the top. Rather than link straight to the download page, I would change the "download" link to be intrapage to the Software section [so people can see that source code and snapshots also are available], and I would add another link to the Documentation section (or more likely point the "Documentation" link again to the Software section so both are on screen together). On the whole, the page is nicely laid out. I just think these minor changes might make it a bit more friendly. YMMV. Feel free to disregard.
