I wrote this last year for the guys who coded our site. We're coming up on a
complete redesign (new VP of Marketing) and I'm interested in your take on
it. My perspective is that I don't have time to do the initial coding, but I
know I'll be maintaining it. I've focused on the things that I've found
difficult or frustrating in the past.

Any glaringly stupid requirements? Am I missing anything really important?
(The last group claimed this was perfectly acceptable, then delivered
something which was pretty close but didn't work in Netscape, so they blew
away all concept of modular code and copied and pasted 15k chunks into every
page to get the navigation to work; therefore, I don't have a real feel for
whether or not this works in the real world.)

The best suggestion will be rewarded with a happy face. Like this :)

Oh; you thought I'd e-mail you a pint or something?
