Hello Francis, Keep in mind that this is just a prototype to see if you like the overall look and feel that I designed. I just wanted to illustrate my idea and what’s better than a fully functional prototype.
As for the three download buttons, well there's one at the header which will be visible on all pages that will serve as a call to action button for users to download OpenOffice(which will lead at the downloads page). The homepage’s hero download button will serve as a quick download button, so the user downloads the correct OpenOffice for his/hers system immediately without having to go to the downloads page(this is not yet fully implemented, so you only see the download for windows, which for the purpose of the prototype leads again to the downloads page). The other releases button serves the purpose, that if a user for example is on a windows machine and wants to download a linux flavour of OpenOffice, to install later on another linux computer, goes to a page that lists all OpenOffices builds. As i couldn't find such a page, in the original website I again redirected to the downloads page(could also lead to the sourceforge page for now). As for the wrong choice you've been offered that is true a different thing that affects the current downloads page. All I am asking now is if I could have access to a staging environment(maybe in another url, as I don't want to mess with your current staging site, as you may want to make changes there), so I can make those changes and having a fully working and tested homepage within this week, that we can move live.
