Hi Wade, I agree with you that there needs to be a unity between the websites and things are definitely confusing. That design I made is basically a wire frame to give us an idea for the layout. I wanted it to follow the HIG guidelines, take into account Mick's comments, and just be simple for kids to use. A friend recently let me borrow an XO, so I'll be able to make something that's more to scale soon. Thanks for the infrastructure ideas as well, they're a good start and I'll bring them up at the design meeting.
