[wp-design] Thoughts?

See I think Subtraction is a brilliant design, and that's all about the 
black baby :). As for the above there's one thing from a content pov I think

literally wrote about this yesterday, but it's the community. You should 
highlight the community surrounding the program more, because for me as a 
beginner that was the deal clincher. 

I like the design, but as mentioned more colour :).
