Hello fellow nixers!

Today's topic will be about making a good website for your software.
It is indeed a matter of taste, but I'm pretty sure we can agree on a few point that are "required" to make a good website.

This keep this thread clean, please formulate your answer as:
  • A list of important points (no more than 7)
  • a link or two to software pages that illustrate your points
  • (optionnal) a counter example

To start on the topic, here are my main concerns:
  • A cool icon!
  • Simple description of the software on the main page
  • Links to the source code / tarball releases / documentation
  • Usage / configuration examples
  • No more than a full page of text per link
  • A simple and clear navigation
  • CSS should be discrete

I really like msmtp, ratox and musl pages. They're simple, easy to read and go straight to the point.

On the other hand, the website for the nix package manager feels a bit weird to me. I think there is too much text, and it's not easy to get a specific information.
