I really would love to contribute something myself rather than making
comments about others work.

Unfortunately, for personal reasons I will not explain here I have
absolutely no spare time at the moment and so I cant.

But please, I hope you all understand this website is of much
importance for the entire project. It's not only up to a single
person to show interest in it, you are all concerned. I know there
are persons who have clear ideas of what a good site would look like,
in any case Ann and Paul I suppose. Please work on this all together
and try to make something professional. Don't fall back on
this "well, it's up to the webmaster to do something" position,
because it's not. You are all concerned.

Again my recommendation: Use white background for all, nothing else.
