I agree with the people who consider the following important -
content ie access to information
ease of use - the fewer 'clicks' the better
clarity not clutter
tabs as they are (eg to Manx Notebook) plus perhaps, some answers to frequently asked questions
I do not think that 'newer' is necessarily 'better' although I know that some dismiss the vote for the tried and tested on the grounds it must come from a dinosaur stuck in the past!
I hope that if you, Paul, are taking on the role of spokesperson for this site in the eyes of isle-of-man.com you really and truly find out and represent the majority view before you commit us all to changes.
