No :)
I have sent more than once (I'm sure) before the screenshot I sent and 
asked to place the logo in the middle instead of the left :)

The screenshot I sent (I thought) it shows clearly the logo should be in 
the middle.

Anyway, if you or anyone else think the logo should not be in the middle 
then let's keep it on the left but the right side should not be empty.

No, it does not I'm afraid.
And I still don't know why Contact Us is before Join us on the home page?

I think these should be removed and only 'About' to remain. Also, we 
need to change it to 'About ToriOS' instead of just 'About'. And, I 
don't know but the current button does not look nice at all :(

+1
This is what I need too.

The welcome message to be so honest is very ugly - let's remove that, 
please?

Okay, how about a mockup?

3 different designs and let's choose the best out of these 3 ;)

Thank you :)

Then maybe we should add more text :)
Let's do this:

We're a group of volunteers who enjoy and love what we do a lot. Take a 
look at the list of Tori OS Team Members <http://torios.org/community.html>

Thanks :)

On my mobile, the whole website looks like a mess to be honest. On a 
computer browser, it is much better.

Thinner boxes could be much better. Why not use smaller text?!
