Personally, you sound a bit arrogant to me.  If you want to help support 
the website, the first thing you should do is find out who currently 
does that.  Then, you should contact them and discuss your 
concerns/ideas.  Throw something together, stick it out there and see 
what people think.  If people like it, then you'll have to wrestle with 
the folks who currently maintain the site.  By the way, I think you own 
them an apology.  You said their work was ugly. That is your opinion, 
and as we know, everyone's got one of those.  How about providing some 
substance?
