I'm still unsure if the banner on the +home page qualifies as 'attention-grabbing'. + +Also, 'static map' didn't seem to be well-defined, so for that reason and +because it's difficult to find a single scale of map which usefully shows the +location of Langley to people unfamiliar with maps of the Pacific North-West, I +inserted a dynamic map instead.
