FWIW, I'm happy with the website as it is. Perhaps a useful distinction is between content and appearance (the latter to be taken care of by CSS mostly). The shadows and typography are appearance only - the screenshot is more content-like (and btw, there are multiple screenshots so you can reload the page and get another view of org's capabilities - there is no visible indication of that however).=20 Another goal should be ease of maintenance of the website: I'm sure neither Bastien nor Jason have infinite time to tweak things.
