Restyled GnuCash website is online

[David T.]

That's an improvement, for sure, although I might quibble with the locution "This page will try to..." since the page can't technically "do" anything. 


I'd go for:

Below are details of some of the numerous features that GnuCash has to offer to
its users.

Yes.

For example,

"GnuCash is a powerful accounting software. This page will try to
explain in detail which are the numerous features that GnuCash has to
offer to it's users."

could be improved by

"GnuCash is powerful accounting software. This page will try to
explain in detail the numerous features that GnuCash has to offer to
its users."

I understand perfectly what is meant, but some other people may not and they may gain a bad opinion of GnuCash as a result (yes, I know those people are silly, it is about presentation).  My offer is to normalize (american z rather than english s) what you have offered.  Maybe other people don't think it is necessary.  I am not imposing so much as suggesting.
