Why is it so difficult to navigate between concrete community sites?

yeah, that particular flow is kind of intentional because that’s the commercial site. From the open source site (.org), there’s a link to download at the bottom of the homepage.

You can get to the open source site from the commercial site by selecting Why Concrete? > Open Source then following the link to the open source site.

Not disregarding any of the other comments about shortcomings of the cross-site navigation, though. Just pointing out that there is an intentional difference between the experience on .com vs .org similar to how competitors (ahem, WP) do it…
