it seems very dry to me, I'm not sure why I should pick one of the states Maybe we should still load one of the networks (or just a jpg image of one of the networks?) in the background to give a hint about what we are going to get? (Also to provide a preview image for sharing in social media)

I think we could spruce of the landing page, but i don't think it makes sense to load a network in the background that you can't do anything with, when you're just going to load another one.

I could see a generic sunburst image.

Let's take an existing graph. Blur/desaturate it, and drop it in as a background.
