The Haskell Platform landing page is consistently beautiful. One of the prettiest landing pages I've come across. It lends a great deal of credibility to a technology when the up-front page looks like it was taken care of diligently. Contrast that to a page with only some text, a tarball link, and a mailing list (no names given, surely the reader can think of an example).

I applaud the Haskell community for taking care of the non-technicals on their flagship download.

I really like how they tie each release to a season. This way the page for each version is visually different from the last version (so it's easy to realize it was updated), but they still have a consistent theme.
Exactly. For how often the spj comment about "avoid success at all costs" is thrown about in the haskell community, it seems like they can't avoid success :)
