Here's a quick mock up of the main page with a carousel and a few blurbs.
...
A conventional language is one that lacks the advantages found in oE or Phix.
oE|Phix are:
| simple | easier to learn, read, and write |
| small | atoms and sequence do it all |
| generic | operators and functions can work on all values |
| clean | freeform syntax is uniform and predictable |
| flexible | you can both interpret and compile source-code |
| dynamic | mix data-types, mix small and huge, no performance penalty |
| fast | quicker than interpreters for any common popular language |
| faster | source-code can be compiled for performance and distribution |
| safe | garbage collected, no pointers, index values are checked |
| versatile | run on different operating systems and architectures |
| quantified | benchmark speed, count features, ignore surprises and gotchas |
| fellowship | oE, Phix, and legacy Eu |
| mongoose | we have a nice mascot |
If you value all of these features then there is only oE or Phix.
A bit much for a home page, but maybe we can use these ideas somewhere.
Reminds me of the Texas brag, which is outdone by the Alaska brag where everything is bigger.

The dynamic item is unclear to me. I think the safe item might emphasize the human friendly nature of indexes starting at 1, not 0.
