I could be wrong, but I think the design (or something like it) has been around for quite some time. Isn’t that an older site?

An OK site but not up to the standards we normally see. It is tough to read the typeface and difficult to navigate. I would agree with Silus. An OK site but not up to the standards we normally see.

To add insult to injury, the navigation is heavy (how many options do we need?!) and doesn't appear to be well conceived … is "contact us" really as important as "tours"? And where's the twitter link — and why isn't "news" an RSS-enabled blog? I'm sorry … but this is not ready for prime time. LDS.org set the standard — and this site is several drafts away from even being close.
