I simply love that website.
I've always been in favour of showing the end user how Bitcoin works by explaining the importance of the private key and how you only need those two strings of text to start accepting donations and payments.
May I suggest one thing for your website? You should explain how to import the private key to bitcoin wallets such as Blockchain.
Maybe you could say something like: "After you've collected donations, you just need to import the private key to a Bitcoin wallet application, such as Blockchain and you'll be able to spend that money or exchange it for your local currency, such as dollars or euros".
Edit: You could also say that "the private key is like a long pin number that gives you access to the money that was sent to your address". I don't really know but I feel that it's easier to understand if you say pin number when it comes to withdrawing money.

A while ago I watched this video about Swedbank's and MasterCard's plans to make Sweden a cashless society. There was a scene with a church showing off their "kollektomat", simply a terminal where you can make a donation using your credit card instead of making the traditional cash donation.
It got me thinking about how much the church might have paid MasterCard for that terminal and how much of their donations that are now shared with MasterCard. So, I thought that there should be a way to show people how incredibly easy it would be for them to start accepting Bitcoin donations, and that's why I made this:
http://accept.bitcoin.se
It is based on the code from bitaddress.org, so big thanks to them! It's currently available in English and Swedish, let me know if you wanna translate it to some other language.
