I don't know, except that I don't want it to be an ongoing time sink.

Some goals:
1) easy to navigate
2) easy on the eyes
3) standards compliant
4) fast loading
5) printable with a print.css

Things to avoid:
1) glitz
2) fixed size pages
3) long download times
4) clever stuff that'll break with the next browser update
