There's considerable redundancy in the intro text and the bulleted lists -- I'd love if it we could tighten up the intro text, let the bullets carry the finer detail, and eliminate the bits that are word-for-word repetitive. We could also use smoother transitions from the intro text into the lists; it's a little abrupt right now. Here's my suggested version.

That's so much better, @michelleweber — thank you!! 🙌

should we still say "hassle-free design"?
Should we change it to something more concrete? "professional themes"?

What do you suggest, @lezama ?

Security, performance, and professional themes: the best way to WordPress is with Jetpack.

Like so? To me that goes from overarching benefits to a single feature too quickly. What about this one, even though I'm not a fan of “tools” here:

Security, performance, and design tools: the best way to WordPress is with Jetpack.

IMO "design tools" and "code-free customization" don't accurately reflect Jetpack's list of features.

People don't come to jetpack seeking design or themes, rather they come seeking tools that cover their site's security, performance, and _site management_ (like stats and related content, automated social media posting, SEO tools, etc.).

Good point, @joanrho ! Do you think we can change the tagline to:

Security, performance, and site management: the best way to WordPress is with Jetpack.

And the title on the third block to:

Effortless Site Management

Without changing the rest of the content and losing the overall context?
