I appreciate the suggestion for split testing, but we can't implement it in a privacy-preserving way. I see three main issues:
1. It requires logging a lot of data on users. Even if we could find a split testing that didn't log IPs, it still would log far more than we're comfortable with.
2. The user is connecting to an external server which we likely have no control over. Is it serving malicious JS to certain countries or covertly changing download links to malicious versions of Tor? We don't know.
3. I don't think we should be implementing external code in a website like this. Imagine if Turkey (which has been discussed previously) spoofed the certificate for the split testing service or changed the IP it resolved to. It would have free rein over the entire site.

Split testing is always good, but in this case it doesn't seem to be an option.

As a starter basic page its pretty nice and simple.
very nice job

it breaks all the rules for a converting landing page but this can be worked on later on.

better to start simple like it is and then improve through split testing.

Looks great! Simple enough for the common user, with all options available for advanced users.

Regarding the donate button I’d opt for a separate button, which is more visibly distinguished. We want it to be noticed as much as possible, while keeping the design consistent.

The download site is nearly finished. The most current version can be accessed here: http://wpapper.github.io/tor-download-web/

All that's left to implement is changing the URL of the download button when a dropdown is changed (which is implemented, but buggy) and the non-JS fallback (which should be very straightforward).

Does anyone have any more feedback at this point? Styling still needs to be figured out, particularly the background color.

Ah, I apologize. Now I see what you're saying.

I was referring to the latest version of the website in the GitHub repo. Here's a screenshot of the page:

Does that seem good? Or should the donate button be separate?

Actually, what I meant is where do I see the mockup or image or to
whatever you referred?
