What belongs on our front page?

http://www.ifixit.com needs to tell people who we are and what we're about. It also needs to get people to what they need as quickly as possible. What should be linked from the front page? It's important to keep the layout simple, but we can't leave anything important out.

I like the idea of having a device finder on the front page that directs people to their device first, and from there they can view guides and questions or buy parts. I'd also have links to the Parts Store, Guide, Contribute, and Answers pages with a brief description of each.

Does this sound good to you? What else would you put on there?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I'm all for the "We're here to help you fix anything, thats right, everything, including bikes" thing, but frankly, ifixit is known for their taking-apart-of-new-electronics-ness, not for fixing lawnmowers or bikes. I mean it is great that we do help people with broken TVs and all, but the main focus of answers is computers and phones. Anyway my point is, can we have something thats not a bike on the front page?

I directed one of my friends to ifixit.com and hes like "is this the right site.. there is a bike here"

but other then that, I like it. the homepage that is.

PS: Maybe replace the "Search ifixit" with device finder? and move the search bar here?

It's not just electronics, but we don't have any (many?) bike guides yet. That said, we do have several questions about bikes on Answers.

The index for bike repairs is on the Vehicle family page, which is on the /Guide main page.
