Albert,
Why the "Donations" page
https://www.kde.org/community/donations/index2.php
is not titled/named "Donate through Paypal"?
I do not understand why the page should be split into a "Donations" page
on one hand and an "Other ways to donate" webpage on the other hand. Why
not a single page for all 3 ways to donate?
-------
When I click a link text saying "Donate", then I do not expect to read
or to be lectured on why donations are important or what the donations
will be for, etc.. A "Donate" page in my mind should be just about the
mechanics of donation.
-------
This page uses a light color (#444) on a light blue background-image
with less than initial, default font-size (10pt) and with absolute
units. Justified text is universally known to be less legible than
left-aligned text. The white text-shadow is useless and pointless and
does not improve legibility.
To me, these poor styling issues should first be dealt with on the whole
kde.org website. Choosing a CMS for the whole site is one thing.
Creating (or choosing) one that promotes readability, legibility,
accessibility at all times is another.

The radio button should look like a normal, standard, default radio
button in browsers. If you style a form control like a radio button,
then it may not look like a radio button to users who use different
browsers. Form controls should look familiar to users who use and trust
the same/preferred browser; form controls can (and often do because of
themes and skins) look different in different browsers.
