Basically I like it, but it could be more user-friendly, communicating what you do with significantly less cognitive load.

Needs a tagline with the logo - tell me very quickly what it is you do. Could even use the intro sentence "[Virtualmin is] the world's most powerful and flexible webserver administration tool" as tagline.

You could then use the main textblock to make the the product's essential features bolder and simpler to grok; less paragraphy, more bullet-pointy.

I would also minimise the bottom bits into link+sentence and make them clearer/brighter. Sell the product in the main block: you don't need to sell the links to the demo/video with whole paragraphs, just present them clearly.

Off the main page, you need some whitespace at the bottom of the landing pages (buy & download). At the moment the footer is squashing the text.




Thanks dood. Excellent advice.

Everyone, pg included, agrees that I talk too much. So I'll definitely cut out some of the unnecessary exposition. Now that you mention it, it seems obvious that I don't need to tell people why they would want to see the demo or the introductory video. It really takes another pair of eyes to spot these kinds of things (maybe design gods can do it all for themselves, but I never would have figured it out for myself).
