As a matter of fact, Tom navigates the web as any other people:
the way the websites make us use their website leaves usually little choice.

So I went to three major websites: https://arstechnica.com/, 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/
and https://www.nytimes.com/.

All three of them behave similar:

links to other *content* in a navigation bar at the top, 

and another at the bottom for *site related* links like subscribe, unsubscribe, 
contact, ...

and I certainly think that download the sources is a) *content* and b) probably 
deserves a font as 
prominent   as "Play classic games" and "Run applications".

It shouldn't be a requirement to be a smart guy, and be part of FreeDOS for 
many years to locate freecom sources.
I actually know about the "devel" link for about an hour. And I *often* 
searched for it.

this is misleading at best.
sooner or later you will accidently click on one subsection where freecom is 
located.
some sort of listing with links to projects would be helpful so the tree would 
be searchable.
