Thanks to all of you who responded. It was good to hear that my notions of this topic were definitely not off-base. And, it was good to get your comments about how to negotiate this difficult territory.
The common element to all your comments is to turn the language of what I'm saying around to make it sound like it's purely to benefit the company (which, really it ultimately is). So, thanks :) What I've come to realize while reading your responses and mulling it over a bit more is that our VP, as well as many in our organization, honestly - in their hearts - feel that what the company is doing on the website is exactly what our visitors want/expect. Whether that is the case or not, I cannot say, as we do not have any research beyond our reliance on things like Web Trends to tell us what is working and what's not. I've learned that we are sort of haphazardly setup (I am the sole UX person (and I'm not a natural evangelist, so that's tough). Good news, though, is that though our VP is fairly new to the web (he comes from a traditional marketing bg), he is seeking the best and brightest in our field to consult with. So, that will help tremendously. Best to all! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
