I've had a quick look on my phone. Using Chrome on my Galaxy S6.  I like
the new layout, including that it draws attention to cool features at the
top. A few points.
-Main headings on each page are inconsistent size. Landing page is small.
Downloads is large. FAQ is small, etc.
-I think the heading colour would look better as "Subsurface blue", rather
than black.
-How will the page look on old/text browsers? Not sure this really matters
for a solely desktop/smartphone program.
-On the landing page is it better to elaborate on the features in case the
reader doesn't wait to scroll through them at the top? Cloud storage,
platforms and the planner aren't mentioned except in the bit that flashes
through at the top.
