The black header looks strange because the r= est of the page is very light.

I prefer that one because the logo looks better & = header contrast is better.
It doesn't look strange with the n= ext part, which has a strong color.

>=C2=A0http://sirgazil.bitbucke= t.org/static/temp/img/guix/home-yellow-header.png

- less constrast
- logo is good but I'm not= sure it will work the same over a white background

Here my first few impressions:

About the part ju= st below the header :

- in the text, emphase done = in black seems "bizarre" to me
- the monitor looks good= , maybe the screen has too much shadow
- the banner is good &= convincing

- the button are too dark and the text= shadow shifts too far=C2=A0
- the color of the button goes with = the background found in the monitor, what happens when the background chang= e?
- I'm not sure about the button color (complementary colo= r).
- Maybe a button like=C2=A0http://clojurescriptone.com/ might work better (witho= ut the font and smaller)
- I think that only the download button = (with last version number somewhere) is required. Overview is already visib= le in screenshot section & header.
- I'm not sure the wave separator is= the best thing. That's what makes it more "casual".

In the screenshot section, maybe a link to &quo= t;overview" is required.

There is no blog lin= k in the header
There is no about link in footer. I'm not sur= e an about page is required, since the frontpage can do that job.

There is no mention of guix package manager.

Great!=C2=A0 I like it how friendly the page is.=C2=A0 My only beef is that= I
dislike "plastic" looks, but that might be just my personal prefe= rence.
Would have preferred a more "professional" look to give a hint of= the
technical superiority of the system. ;-)

I think I like the yellow header most.
