Rather than doing something soley to comply with a standard you must sell your client on the idea or not do it, they are the ones that ultimately must live with the decision and be happy with it. As a programmer it is your job to make sure they have all the information and the pro's and cons of each solution, after that point let your client hash it out, providing additional information as needed.
If you really like the way it looks provide a mockup of the front page with the changes you are suggesting and one without the changes and explain the benefits of your changes. At the end of the day after all information has been considered and a decision has been made you are there to do what the client wants you to do, not what you think or believe is best. Who do you report to, the main site guy or the site owner? If you report to the site owner your responsibility is to him, likewise if you report to the person doing the site it is to him. A lot of times the maintenance person feels like they should have got the programming job and are very resesntful and hard to work with, if possible you should try to build a good working relationship with him and stroke his ego a bit as the owner probably selected him for some reason and he might have a say about future jobs and at the least know other people in the business and positive advertising is always good.
