Your thoughts, criticisms and any assistance towards improving the website is appreciated.
(it may become playfreelancer.com or something similar, if interest and use is deemed suitable enough for me to pay more of my own money hosting it outside of weblow.io. For now, it'll stay on webflow.io as playfreelancer.webflow.io).
I wouldn't advertise transports and battleships (basically anything that isn't a fighter or freighter) as flyable, as in the vanilla game, they are not. Otherwise, this looks awesome!
A vanilla freelancer promo site shouldn't really be using Discovery assets or gameplay elements to promote itself, if only because they're simply not in the game. It should also specify that the MMORP elements are just one of the community mods. If you're going to use assets from Discovery or other mods, they should be specified as such. I think it'd be best if the site had a section specifically for SP freelancer, HD or otherwise, and a showcase of mods separately, with assets from each confined to their respective sections.
It does feel like you're advertising Discovery assets into vanilla, and tying it all together, and as the two replies above said, it could be very easily misinterpreted. Separate sections would be very better, I agree.
Also, trying to "fork £ out of it", I would advise against it, this is just my opinion, but trying to make some money off of a free mod, based on abandonware (that I believe still belongs to Microsoft too?), is not the best way, that is my opinion once again.

That last part meant, depending on how much demand the site gets, I may put more money into it myself, and host it properly with a www.domain.com (not webflow)
Yeah, i appeciate the sentiment and I like the design and the idea, but I think it should separate Vanilla freelancer and Disco server. Also trying to get a cash out of it kinda rubs me the wrong way.

I'll edit the OP. At no point is anyone making revenue from this. The OP states I've put my own £ into this. I could put more of my own £ into this, depending on demand.

Love to see my initial concern - which was addressed by OP, completely ignored, nice.
