Summary
The current website isn't the most user-friendly and is hard to navigate. We want to change this.

Design
You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue.
Implementation
The changes will first be tested on our testservers (hosted by RyanKavanagh and RoderickGreening). They will then by pushed onto launchpad and applied onto the official websites by the Canonical sysadmins.
