The Nest home page is simple, then individual product pages provide more and more info as you scroll deeper. See for example https://nest.com/smoke-co-alarm/life-with-nest-protect/

You'll also notice similar design on Tesla's explanatory pages, compare our residential product page or gigabit fiber page to their charging overview, here: http://www.teslamotors.com/charging#/basics - the idea is that you scroll down to learn more.

Sorry you don't like it, we're just doing our best!
I have never doubted you're all doing your best, Dane - that's why I have stuck with Sonic all these years. :-)

Though I may be a UX retro-grouch, I still appreciate all the good things you do.

I don't know about BRITE COLORS... my complaint is that the text on the Graymail page is too pale. The blue text on the left is so light that there's not much contrast against the white background. Since I have to plow through a lot of spam, I'd be less likely to miss an email I actually want, if the text stood out more from the background. Any hope the colors on that page could be darkened?

Thanks!
