Ordinary people do not want see how it works in core (forging; 51% attack resistence; proof of stake, proof of work...). They need know only What is benefit.
"Web site quality" is subjective. What you define as the perfect content is what someone else defines as utter crap. You have provided nothing but vague criticism without a clear proposal for what you think is better. Creating the perfect Nxt web site is not a problem that is simply solved by hiring someone. Whoever builds it has to understand the community, the technology, the strategy, and the vision. The community itself cannot agree on those things.
Be constructive. Propose something concrete (more than "the sites are crap and these expensive guys can build one") and pitch it to the marketing committee. We will then vote.
I'm trying to find out if there is a demand for a new site.
I want to help. Can not do it alone. Make great website is not simple - I know it. I am web developer with 8 years experience.
This requires a major debate.
I don't see any need for debate at all right now.
If u have the skills to make something better than what we currently have, then put some work into building a prototype, even as a very rough sketch of what u intend it to be.
Show us that u have something to deliver, then the funding will come your way.
This is not aimed personally at godt, but:
I'm seeing a lot of people pitching vague plans, asking for funding for projects that are nothing more than complete vaporware.
May I suggest that u put some work in, prove that you have something useful, then put your hand out........
