I think the R homepage is pretty much perfect:

https://www.r-project.org/

Who wouldn't be excited about learning R after visiting the website!

Sarcasm? While it's not a bad website, I wouldn't say it inspires me to get into stats with R. It doesn't have a code example, or much color. I think the python homepage is much better designed
Slightly, but I love R and make a sizeable part of my living using that language. From a design perspective I much prefer websites like R's, rather than disaster zones like Mashable (although haven't been there for a long time, so maybe it has changed too).

I don't think people interested in R are necessarily going to judge it first by its homepage and website.
