I can't claim any talent at design; I just used the old design when I made the YI website. I have help now! A few people who want to remain nameless are helping remake the site into something both more modern-looking and more streamlined, easier to use. As Cameron Moll said, Good Designers Redesign, Great Designers Realign and I certainly think we need a complete realignment, to put the important stuff on the home page and other things back behind (we don't need a list of officers on the front page, and the map, while incredibly cool, slows the initial load time immensely).
The plan now is to make it more WordPress-y (fixed width, site navigation across the top), based on a design by Jenna Smith.
