I decided to change the layout entirely because originally I
had not thought about how to present subcontents, so in my
opinion there was no "corporate identity" because the
various subpages of the old design all had different
layouts. And also, they were mostly external HTML and PDF
files which would have to be tweaked quite a lot in order to
incorporate them into the design of the meta-content. So
instead of the 'distinguished' black/green/white look that
used Garamond everywhere I decided to go for a more clean
(and granted, maybe a bit more boring) design which made
content handling more flexible on the other hand. Of course
colour and content handling are not related, so in fact if I
wanted I could change the entire layout by just replacing
(and rewriting) the CSS file.
