Personally I really like it. The footer menu contrast is a little bright with the white/light green, however it's worth noting that the color/contrast experience will vary depending on what equipment your using. Typically if a site has been designed on an Apple Thunderbolt/MBP Retina display, then it will look a bit crappy on many PC monitors (even the higher quality ones). I used to complain about site designs all the time when I was on a PC, since switching to an MBP most of these problems disappeared. The same goes for font weight, and indeed font rendering, typically OS X renders fonts much cleaner than Windows. (This is on the assumption that you are using a PC).
Three spots (the design agency) look like they are using Macs in their office according to their office photos, so this might help explain why. However there are a few bugs; * code.djangoproject has some indenting issues on header tags (e.g. getting involved), and the shaded underline is weird, you can see this white background box around it then some grey fading... very strange. http://i.imgur.com/q2ejjq0.png * code.djangoproject ticket list table is "bleeding" over the right hand edge http://i.imgur.com/ALm4eX0.png * code.djangoproject query form is not properly designed, small font with oddly placed form elements and incorrect use of spacing; http://i.imgur.com/t2POMDL.png Gotta head to bed so I'll cut this short, hope this helps though.
