I got that point, make it as nice as possible but keep future maintenance as 
simple as possible too. E.g. a website update should be as simple as a svn ci 
command. 

before implementing anything, we will propose some designs, layed out in gimp 
or sth. like that, and try to stick to some CSS stylesheets.

Adam, when you have figured out, how to set permissions on plone so that a 
group can edit a page, could you setup one, and post a link to it here, or 
let me know, and I'll setup one.

cheers
Sebastian
