This skolelinux page looks like I might borrow some ideas. Simple site and a 
few links. I am a big fan of contents management systems but when it comes to 
the user they are generally not what a first time visitor is looking for.

They make it easy to publish content but provide so many navigational and 
conceptual elements that users don't find the information they are looking 
for.

I get the feeling the first page of every site needs to be a text to read. A 
text that fills a page a or so. This is what makes the visitir become a user 
or not. They will make up their mind when reading the first page. Like in a 
newspaper. I generally read the first few paragraphs to get a clue what they 
are talking about skipping ahead and if I decided this is worth my time I 
fully read it.
