Keep it simple.

I want a big, shiny button that links me to the content I want.

When I click on one of the software, I don't read the blue box. I scroll down and then click on an alternative. Then "what the?! I'm on the same kind of page again!" I scroll down, click on alternative... and repeat this again and again. Oh! Now this page has a big green "download" button! Awesome! click it Oh. It's an ad.

This was my reaction when I first visited the website just now.

Make the main link bigger. If it has a download link, make it big. If it doesn't? Make the website link bigger. I shouldn't have to think. I'm confused.

(Of course, I'm dumbing myself down on purpose when testing websites)

Thank you for great feedback, very much appreciated! We will definitely try to make things very obvious when it comes to leaving our site for the final destination that should be an applications website or an app store.

I also answered some of these thoughts in my reply to imdhmd.
