I'm the newly appointed Web editor for the Western Producer, Canada's
largest weekly agricultural newspaper, however, I'm essentially a staff of
one.

We're in the course of a redesign of our site -- one being decided upon by
committee.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on page loading speed. I say it's
a priority; others say that's overrated.

Some on the business side want all access to the site to go through the
home page. They don't want people to be able to bookmark various sections
in the classified ads and access them directly.

There's been little talk of the content. Shouldn't that be part and parcel
of any redesign?

What are the opinions  of list members on these questions?

For those operating small sites who have gone through  this redesign
process, I would appreciate hearing some "if I knew now what I knew then"
stories.

For anyone who cares to look, the site in its current incarnation is at
http://www.producer.com .

Thanks in advance.
