The new site looks really cool. Nice work!

Is it planned to change the picture in the background? These Titans on anabolica are a bit strange...
Maybe a small contest could bring a nice background image. The winner gets a special avatar.

Perhaps larger font for the 'The Project' section.

Direct links to BRNK and Gyle's channels?

Other than that it looks fab, and I'm totally nicking that picture for the Patreon page too :p

OK then so a bit of feedback.

Links to youtube, facebook, github all need to be more prominent, as well as at the very bottom. I'd also love a link to http://faforeverdevblog.tumblr.com/

The new faf website is now up on http://test.faforever.com/

I'm open for suggestions & contributions. Especially the images and text could use external contributions as I'm not epicly good at those

Looks good to me, although I don't have much I can add about actual website design. Only part that really jumped out at me was using flail supreme as the video, as that one is vanilla Supcom. Angel Supreme is the FA (3598 lol) version, and imo a much better one. The FAF trailer by Aggravated Astronomer might also be a good pick for a front page video since it is a bit shorter and far more recent.

Hi, I did quite an extensive update. What do you think about having a "competitive" page?

lextoc: sure! Just contact me whenever

Well done!

In regards to text, keep it minimal. I like the current layout and top menu. You really don't need much more. To elaborate: no donate button on the fornt page but only under the "non profit" button with sub-page. No detailed explanation on comunnity driven this and that constant updates through modding, that goes under the other buttons. The front page should essentially be an advertisement to the game with functional quick routes to any other information.

I really like it the way it is already.

Cool! Though I think some of these descriptions are too long. People generally tune out if its more than 3 lines of text, for example your intro is 7 and the SC:FA description is 15 (I added bullet points to that though). The SC:FA description might be cool as a series of pictures with short picture-texts

I really like it!

I hope you plan to implement some statistics about games played, rankings, winner of tournament and stuff.

Keep up this good work.
