As if Nick's head isn't already spinning from all the advice, one thing I would mention is just how big a share of web access these days is via mobile devices, i.e. smartphones and tablets. According to some (reputable?) sources, glean from a single Google search, mobile use has overtaken desktop use (desktop includes laptops). If true, then is a good idea to design new web sites with this in mind, and use a platform that supports "responsive" design, where the platform detects the capabilities of the user's browser and formats pages accordingly. I haven't dug into Nick's site yet, so I don't how amenable the pages are to formatting for a four inch screen :-)
