Good Day, As a bit of feedback, let me share with you an experience I just had with your site: I wanted to download the PHP source code, so I went to PHP.net (like many people, I'm naturally aware of your product although I'm not a frequent visitor of your site). The layout of the page gave me the natural perception that the left side panel contained all the important links (a standard paradigm on many webpages, I instinctively look to the left for headlines like 'screenshots', 'download'). So I scrolled down looking for "Download'. It wasn't there. Desperately my eyes sought back up. Then I scanned the right panel. Quickly determined that that wasn't it either. Looked around in puzzlement until I noticed the very tiny word "download" in blue letters on a blue background. This was the path to enlightenment :> Might I suggest that you either put a link to the downloads page in the left panel and/or accentuate the menu on the top of your main page better? Kind Regards, Pim van Riezen
