In my humble opinion, all site designs I've seen so far, including our current one, lack one critical thing: art.
Inkscape is an art tool, but these are just standard web sites that would fit any kind of entity.
I propose that our web site's front page should incorporate a large enough image, created in Inkscape, at least as well done as our About screens and ideally better. Like a banner, perhaps integrated with the "Inkscape" heading.
We could even rotate them once per month or so, if we find enough good candidates (and there are plenty of good Inkscape art for example on Deviantart, we can just contact directly authors of nice pieces offering them this free publicity :). Of course this requires that someone takes the responsibility to choose a piece of art (I don't think we should do monthly competitions, it's too much overhead), nicely crop it to our format and otherwise integrate it with the web site, perhaps even changing the color scheme of the site to match the new front page art piece. Such a person must have good design sense and be ready to spend some time regularly on updating our web site.
