I meant recognising what the page actually contains? Is the page a simple HTML page or a very heavy flash page. This would help people in low bandwidth countries like Africa.
And it would be a lot better if you have a basic idea of what you want to display and create an image mockup, post it here and ask for feedback (after you get enough ideas from this thread). That would be the next thing you would want to do I suppose. That way you would be able to get more inputs for a close-to-perfect redesign. :)

Thats the link to the MIT User Interface Design course from MIT OCW. Refer that for a better UI.
I heard from somewhere that placing the labels of input fields on top of the input fields increases speed of readability than when you put the labels of the input fields on the left. (I don't remember the source but I remember the content right)
Hope that helps!
Ah! if this is your blog: http://www.trk7.com/blog/about/ I can shoot you a mockup to your email address. :) Is it okie to do it?
