Simple answer from me: I think its okay for the most part, but the dehydrated pee color yellow is my only dislike 
otherwise glad to see the website taking shape.
Not sure I’ve seen people bring up the term “experimental” instead of zany and such. I think originality is present, which is good, just needs to be fine-tuned. (Some people’s point about color-consistency with Maidsafe’s blues etc. might be worth looking into.) People might even see a need for a whole new direction; but I say if this is what has been started, might as well find a way to make it work. I do feel a bit disoriented—however, my brain is not focus-optimal (to say the least) lately (maybe contributed by this new exercise ball for computer chair, to say nothing about feelings of legit brain fog). I feel that someone with a clearer mind than me will eventually get used to the design. (I haven’t yet, but I can see “getting used to” being a true statement.)
[I haven’t seen it on mobile.]
Though, obviously, try the fine-tuning, to ensure the most is gotten out of people’s first impressions as well as second-third impressions. I can’t emphasize enough that with enough time, people reading it will be able to understand it more, and see all the sections as an extension of what is trying to be conveyed. Might be impossible to please all first impressions with the current direction, but can get closer. Though I wonder if my opinion even matters until I can get my fog sorted out/why I’m even typing this! Maybe for some reason…

Isn’t that what the website is supposed to look like(the photos are not aligned on purpose)? I actually really like the new one! I’m using a 15" Macbook.
Hey @foreverjoyful, not sure about this weird behaviour. Can you please post in which browser and macOs version this happens.
Hey, sure, I actually tried again on Google Chrome and ti gave me the OSX version!!! So all good, but the browser that’s still giving me the linux version is Brave Browser.

I love the new website.
It will never be perfect and there will always be differences of opinion, but as long as it gets the message out there while also pleasant on the eye, I am happy.
I am also quite certain that this project will not fail on account of the choice of fonts.

Thanks @foreverjoyful, we will check this and get back.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to review the website. We will be going through these in the coming days and hope to fix any problems you find. Keep up the good work community and well done to the UX team!

Sure, also, I am still asked for an invitation token? Are we still doing that(please tell me no)?

Yeah, that’s why we need a link for people to download manually if they want. Brave is Chrome based but it doesn’t always act like Chrome. Also some people use fingerprinting blockers which can also throw automated browser detectors.

Site feedback: The font on the Q&A page is way too big on my desktop display. Makes it hard to read without regular scrolling.

9. Could the section “Dude, where’s my blockchain” include some reference to “datachains”?
This section clearly indicates that it’s not a blockchain, but doesn’t immediately (and clearly) indicate it’s technology that rivals blockchain.
So really, it simply says “we don’t use blockchain” because “it doesn’t scale”. Without the obvious “here’s how we do it” . The reader now has to dig for data chains. I also think the whole data chain story is too deep into the website, it needs to be right there to support “Dude, I don’t use blockchains”. If “blockchain” is the latest innovation that everyone is clamoring to adopt, ya better let the audience know - real quick - that you have something better, or they’ll dismiss all of this.
(Sorry if this point has already been made)
“Dude, where’s my blockchain?” T-shirts needed.

Hi guys! Finally here’s the website!! I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Sorry for answering late. I’ve explored the sneak peak and i’m quite happy with the result. Although imo there’s stll a huge room for making big steps in style and clarity in giving information as this will be probably an entry point for beginners
So here’s my feedback. I’ll tell you both what i like and what i think you could improve
Speaking for the desktop version
-
I like the structure of the website made of posters which allow to split some information from the main content and make them relevant.
-
I appreciate the infos that you put into the webpage but you need to give them a priority. I understand that there are so many infos to show but they’re too chaotic. To external eyes seems they’re all put together without an order and there’s too much text into a small space, like in the homepage (see the top-part, the middle and the bottom too many infos together). i.e Every box should have some free-space around so the viewer’s eye can focus on the text. Putting a box near another one is not a good choice.
-
The colors.
Choosing many different colors is not a big mess imo. You can see orange, yellow, blue and white. Not bad. The problem imho is that you put them close to each other in a unique section. Especially in the home page, you can see there’s a mix of orange, white, yellow with an image. Too many colors together. I’ve seen many others websites choosing many colors for their page, but they are split like in sections. And this is good cause you can refer to each section through a different color.
This website called Impossible Foods summarizes what i mean. You can see different colors mixed perfectly.Thus, choosing several colors gives freshness and energy to the page if they’re managed well.
On the other hand, choosing the traditional colors of the brand (different shapes of blue) is another good option. -
The images. Pictures are useful cause they grab the attention of the users. This website lacks of pictures. It would be awesome imo to transform the values of freedom, security, control into different images so users can have aesthetically an awesome representation in their mind.
Hope you appreciate the feedback, let me know what you think about. Just my 2 cents. Overall i think the website has solid basis to improve in style and content-recap. You’re doing a great job, keep working on it!

10. Should “internet” be replaced with “World Wide Web” it’s the world wide web model that is supported by ad revenue. I pay a service provider for “internet” access, I don’t pay anyone for WWW access.

I like the new layout. I would prefer a dark colour scheme, but I like the layout.
The Get Involved page (Safe Network) doesn’t pick up my OS version (W10 x64) correctly though. I am using Firefox with quite a few addons which block and/or limit various things, so I’m used to some stuff not picking me up correctly, but regardless it would be nice for that download link to feature a drop-down to pick an alternative version or an alternative button that takes me to the GitHub releases page instead of just giving me the one download option. It’s not a guarantee that the user will be using the downloaded browser on the same system they’re viewing the page on.

Having reviewed this thread and re-explored the site, here are some thoughts:
Most of the objections seem to center around how the site is not laid out in a more orderly form. I’m including in this various opinions about the patchwork motif, choice of colors, choice of different fonts, etc. The common desire in all these is to have the site represent some expected or familiar order or pattern, in some respect or another. (I’m generalizing here on purpose, so this net doesn’t catch everything, by any means.)
My first and recurring experience when looking at the site is a sense of excitement because it so well fits the project I’ve been following and working with for several years and have been struggling to communicate about.
It finally hit me why my emotional reaction is “Perfect!” I’ll try to explain.
The technical scope of the network, in its many interrelated pieces is important, but one first has to get at least a hint of the vision of the end product before one can even start to peel it apart. This is why it can be difficult for geeks with other project visions can have a hard time “getting it”–because they already have their version of what they think the vision is, or should be, or means.
On the other hand, non-technical people have little way to wade into the picture on a functional level without getting swamped.
I think the website is great because it starts by stating each aspect from a vision perspective, with hooks into everyone’s experience, then exposes paths for people to explore for more substance at their choosing. It’s enough to provide different avenues to deeper understanding at each point. It implies that there are many branching paths. Choosing how much to say or not is the hard part that they seem to get pretty right.
The truth is that THERE IS NO ONE PATH TO GROKING THE SAFE NETWORK.
I think the site does a masterful job of engaging on a conceptual and emotional level, then backing it up with a bit more meat, or signpost to more meat, down multiple paths. The different colors and fonts, graphics, etc., may seem chaotic at first, but they actually are not. There is a deeper order as to how the site is organized that is interestingly parallel to the fractal nature of how the network comes together conceptually.
Not everyone will be served by the site. It could not be designed so that everyone would be. But the site does a great job of making a fairly deep conceptual grasp of what it’s all about available to a lot of different people. First they have to be enticed, to get the urge to explore. After that it’s a process that most everyone who has grokked the SAFE Network over time has followed. I think the site just broadens the entry gates.
Of course, it can be improved, but not much.
How the site displays on different devices is, of course, a separate matter.
Well, that’s my two bits (or bytes? kb?).
