This would be good indeed. Gives visitors some visual reference and
makes it more clear what we're about.

Yeah, the black seems somewhat odd. It even makes the right

Why link? Shouldn't we just add them to the site? As in keeping the

Looks fine, but maybe do a 3 column? It seems a bit strange to see 4

On a totally unrelated note, should we get our heads round L10N? Or not?
