I'm not sure what you're complaining about here. Press isn't working,
because our mirrors aren't serving .shtml through the proper filter.
Other than the background gradient and the header icon, about and donate
have identical design.

That said, we certainly do need to improve the content and layout of the
website, and that's one of the long term goals. I was expecting you to
complain about the completely difference site designs we have for
xiph.org, icecast.org, speex.org, theora.org and vorbis.com.
