I get what Joost meant and I also understand what you're trying to  
achieve by your design. We want the text on the main page to be as  
consice as possible and easy to remember, so it would grab the focus  
of the visitors and give them a quick impression of the website. Some  
kind of marketting buzz words. Further text for the detail explanation  
can be put on the deeper pages.

If you follow this whole thread from the beginning, you should know  
that I'm working on this with the help of my web designer colleague. I  
hope he would be able to make the required images, icons, etc. for the  
new website.

Good. Keep improving your proposal and ideas. Please keep in mind,  
it's not about your proposal versus mine, we're not doing web design  
contest here. We want to give FPC and Lazarus a better website so it  
would attract new comers, more visitors, and finally more contributors  
for the project. I don't mind if all people here don't like my  
proposal as long as the choosen proposal would be able to achieve the  
goal. Let's work together on this.
