I don't have anything against the web site, I like it, but I kinda agree that these banners are too big and a bit negative/unprofessional.

Take this for example:

When someone looks at that the first thing they get is a negative feeling and that's not good, doesn't matter what the message is, the negative feeling is there.

So yeah, I kinda agree with you.

My company is currently investigating a couple of projects that may take
me in the direction of FreeSwitch...  In general, our management does
not often consider open source software for projects such as this, but
I've been successful in proving to them recently that open source can
deliver.

FreeSwitch is a *very* professional and polished product, I can tell -
from the code and from the community.

Unfortunately, I've been hesitant to send people to your webpage lately
because it went downhill a few weeks ago.  Whenever I think about one of
our executives going to your webpage (after my recommendation) and
seeing a picture of people clanking beer glasses, or some idiot tied up
in phone cables, I cringe.  I know you're advertising for ClueCon, but
honestly, some of those huge images on your front page really knock your
product down a peg in professionalism.

Anyway, I'm pretty new to the community and I don't claim to be a web
designer.  You have an excellent piece of software, but if I didn't
already know that about FreeSwitch, your webpage would not make a good
first impression.

Please take that for what it's worth...  I wanted to voice my opinion
because if I'm thinking it, others may be as well.
Thoughts anyone?
