    Center elements

    I like how the colors seem deliberate and integrate well into the overall aesthetic.

    Everything is nicely aligned and easy for the eyes to flow naturally throughout.

    I'm not entirely sure if someone who was directed to this page blindly would simply grasp the intended-idea right away. So I would like to see a "DOWNLOAD NOW" or similar "button" on the presentation page to at least present that this is for third-party type application.

    The only 2 things that "demand" attention are; 1) The light-burst on the landing page's header. Should be center. And 2) The black background on the last couple of sample pages. The contrast really diminishes the appeal from the rest of the site.

    Great project piece overall!

      Noted on the light burst.

      The black background shouldn't appear once the forums start filling up with posts. It's only showing now because there are no posts.

      Thanks for the input!
