I think it's a waste of time to make the website look "modern" 
while what we really need is to point out the topics of interest 
(better):

What is D?

- Systems programming language
- Native (three compilers: dmd, ldc, gdc)
- C++/C like
- Modelling power
- Modern convenience
- Cross platform
- Interacts with C/C++
- Community driven (free, boost license)
- Benchmarks (+ examples)

AND also very important

- (Build) tools (dub, dvm)
- GUI toolkits
- third party libraries
- Guide to Windows integration
- ... (please fill in)

(basically all the major points that newbies ask about on the 
forum)

The layout should be clear and simple ("one-click-shops"), 
whether we jazz it up later is not so important now. I know that 
hours and days can be wasted with getting the CSS and JS right, 
however a convenient and clear structure are more important now 
than shiny icons and the like. In fact, thinking about the 
content/structure might give rise to new ideas as regards the 
design. If the design is there first, it adds unnecessary 
constraints regarding the structure / content, i.e. the free flow 
of ideas.
