I know about staging and it's convenient that it's served. But I'd like to
experiment without worrying about breaking things. I hope to achieve three
things:
* Reorganize the information so visitors find what they want with minimal
reading and searching
* A more modern look
* Improve display on mobile phones
I'd like to emphasize that I am *not* thinking about changing the
implementation (SSI vs something else) at this time. Nor am I thinking
about removing or rewriting the text. The information we have on the site
is good and thorough. I just want to reorganize it and make a good first
impression on visitors with an attractive home page -- and make sure we're
all happy with it before it moves to staging.
Thoughts?
