There are elements of this I don’t love (the navigation, a little too much of the handwriting) and other elements I simply adore (the photography and copy on the about page are top-notch, and communicate the company’s whimsical personality quite effectively, the product page is attractive and clearly communicates what their software does). Overall, I like this site quite a bit.
I quite like it. If I have one criticism, its that it’s a little too spread out. I’m all for clean white space, but I think there’s too much within each article.
Contrary to Pat’s opinion, I do like the handwriting- there’s the right amount IMHO. Any more would be overkill.
With that here is one thing from an art direction perspective that sticks out to me, which is that the smoke trailing from the rocket, while it contrasts quite nice on the background, black smoke signifies a fuel source that burns rather quickly. Most rocket fumes are white.
Very nit-picky, but just something that stood out to me
Agree with all about the about us page, perhaps more of that style should be transferred to the wunderlist page, which I gotta admit didn’t hold my attention for as long.

There’s a few things going on I quite like here.

Awesome about page too
Awesome site. The pages are well designed, and well laid out
I agree with the comments about the handwritten font – for me it conflicts with the clean layout. Other than that a very inspiring site – great work
@Rich – It’s not rocket science!

Copy is an important part of any website, so why is the copy of the about page ( I didn’t bother to read the rest of the copy) so overly punctuated.
There seems to be a comma every few words. e.g.
This happens almost every paragraph! :@
It’s a nice clean website. That’s about it. Nothing memorable here.
@Elliot: I guess its due to the german roots of 6wunderkinder.
Nice design!
Does anyone know what the type face used in the titles is?
