Aldrin, The page looks really good! Bootstrap is pretty sweet. I have a couple of thought if you'd like them... I think with the bootstrap gradients you can specify both the "light" and "dark" colors, so you can fade between both of the NiFi logo colors. Also, for the features / get involved / documentation it might be good to put those in "wells" so the grid background doesn't Interfere with the text. Looks awesome though. Thanks for working on it.
