It took me a while to move things back to Jekyll and to adjust the theme to a newer version as in the old version with images higher than wider (as in case of screenshots from a mobile phone) it looked very poor.
Both sites are read at GitHub Pages and waiting for a quick review by us before I'll go and redirect traffic to them.
For now, they are accessible at https://tigaseinc.github.io/siskin-im-website/ and https://tigaseinc.github.io/beagle-im-website/.
%kobit %bmalkow %wojtek I'm waiting for your comments before publishing those pages. Especially before publishing SiskinIM site as it was built from the ground up and I've to create images for it.

A couple of ( INVVHO ) suggestions:
- split "keep in touch" from sourcecode and in the former put there regular "social media"
- change "for iOS" to "for iPhone and iPad"
- place typical "get from AppStore" button (that we had on https://tigase.net/downloads and it seems it's missing now…) - something like https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/SGIM/53ba1856-f81b-403b-abcc-a0ddffa95eff/UploadedImages/appstores.jpg somewhere in the top part - ideally second section of the page; especially in mobile view this should be visible without scrolling
- the black-themed image as background for black-background frame with header seems weird: maintain black-themed image from the IM, make the rectangular light-gray and text black?
Regarding wording - who is the target audience? Regular users (simplified applications would suggest so) or more power-users? If the former then maybe:
- change "client" to "app(lication)" (afterthought of talk I had with my non-IT friend)
- "It provides an easy way to start using XMPP protocol (formelly known as Jabber) if you've never used it before." -> "It provides an easy way to talk and share moments with your friends (using open standards)"?
- "With Siskin IM you can send images as part of your conversation. No matter if it is conversation with one person or it is a group chat. Everyone will receive it, even if he is not available right now." -> "With Siskin IM you can share photos with all your friends - hassle free!"
And the last - screenshots:
- can we make the example pictures a bit more "hip"? Take a look at https://telegram.org/blog/android-themes or or https://telegram.org/file/811140875/194d/Azfff5DbqmA.43060/f692b7f2804bb1a6e2 - some fun contacts and imaginary conversations
Applications:
- Can we actually hide URLs from http-upload? Showing it could be handled by some preference or via context menu but IMHO it would make app look better.

%wojtek So basically what you are saying is to trash all the images and take new once with some imaginary conversations. I've tried to avoid that, as it requires to trash my phone conversations (or the second phone conversations) and to create a dummy account with conversations, etc. I can do that but this will take time at least a few hours to do so with an image retouch.

Yeah…

Wouldn't using emulator work?

The emulator will work only partially. There is no way to have VoIP in the emulator - the physical device is required for that. I have a second phone for development, so I can do that, but screenshots will be smaller as those will be from iPhone 6s and application looks better on the iPhone X. For iPad, I do not have a spare device, so I would need to take screenshots in the emulator in this case.
