Hi, about your homepage screenshot: please don't use round checkboxes. Round should be reserved for the universally recognizable radio buttons, and square-ish for checkboxes.

Radio buttons are for picking only one option among a group of options. Checkboxes are for lists of options where you can pick all of them if you want.
