Hi John

No specific ideas at the moment but count me in as someone willing to help -- I
do it for a living too ! 

Suggest a first good step is do define the goals of the site (maybe brainstorm
it) the from that your structure will flow.

 Maybe we could do an on-line brainstorming to think of everything the site may
be useful for. I could set you up a mailing list for this if that would help ?

After that then collate all the ideas, and you have a good idea of the content,
functionality and navigation you should implement. 

Once you defined that, the visuals/ themes can be put together.
