The current tendency of websites to use font-shadows to give text an engraved look is extremely irritating; it reduces readability (which is already very low given that you're using grey text on a light blue background), and makes the text look somewhat blurry. I will admit that it can look good, but only when used sparsely; using it for all the text in a page is a bit much.

Also, you might want to do some grammar-checking on the English version of the site. "We where frustrated" should be "We were frustrated," "That's why we build applist.me" should be either "That's why we built applist.me" or "That's why we're building applist.me," in "which short-link ist yours" "ist" should be "is." There are some other issues with commas, and a few places where the phrasing is awkward or contradictory ("There are no restrictions at the moment. As long as you can remember your link" could be reduced to just one sentence, and in fact either of the component sentences would work perfectly well as an answer to the question).
