Leah, That sounds great, our last redesign was indeed several years ago, and I agree that the site is probably overdue for a facelift.
One thing though, I think we will need to support Internet Explorer 7, which I believe doesn't support some of the newer web standards you mention. It's ok if the site doesn't look quite as good in IE7, but it should at least work. (The good news is that the upcoming IE10 does support these things, so hopefully we won't have to worry about it for too much longer). In your email you didn't actually list any of the specific things you'd change, perhaps you hit "send" prematurely by mistake? Also, you didn't mention but I assume you're willing to do this work on a voluntary basis? Of course, if you do the redesign we're willing to add a credit and a link to you to the bottom of our site (which will be very good for your "Google guice" given that our site has a pagerank of 6 ;). Assuming all is well, I guess the first step would be for you to do a mock-up so that we can all see how you envisage the site looking? Thanks, and welcome aboard! Ian.
