We have different priorities, and I need you to see that my priority list actually makes more sense, from a certain pov.
I agree with Graham on two fronts here. First, "look and feel" is less critical than content and organization at this stage in the development of the new Web site. Second, modifying the CSS is trivially easy (assuming the site uses a separate CSS file, as it should) once the design parameters are settled. And, third, I think that a badly written and badly organized Web site deters users far more than one which is not pretty.
My request, to Jan and others who are concerned about the look and feel, is to start writing CSS files that result in pages that look the way they think the pages should look. Then let the list know about them the CSS so that we can have a look at them. The look and feel are clearly not Graham's top priority here, so others should probably do this.
