Here [0] is HAProxy's website. Well, one of them [1]. The first one contains documentation in glorious plain HTML, and packs more information into it you can imagine. It is, after all, an incredibly high-performance piece of software that's been around for over two decades. The second one is, I imagine, for people like you. Perhaps that's what's needed for a company to be successful anymore - a site with the information necessary to get the thing running and to maintain it, and a second that's flashy and glitzy and doesn't scare the suits.
