QFT I agree with both Stephan *and* Rich. It would be great if the site stayed clean, white, and straightforward. I don't personally have difficulty selling SQLite to my boss because we've used it in many successful projects, but I can see how the current site may not measure up to so-called 'web 2.0' expectations.
Just please please please avoid cheezy stock photos of happy users in breathtaking vistas of nature. Maybe a logo design contest is in order?

However, what the development team needs to define is the audience -- or audiences -- they want to effectively reach. Not everyone looking at the web site is a linux/*BSD user, highly involved with database management systems, code development, or other technical aspects. Quite often the key decision-maker knows little about the technology, but needs to be assured that there is a solid business reason for adopting it. These folks need to see something more appealing to them. Rich -- Richard B.
