Carefully crafted site structure collapses in the blast. Nothing to do but collect the pieces for reassembly. Hopefully, someone at least learned their lesson. He wanted NetObjects templates to translate directly into Midgard themes and back. I proposed an XML-based format to insure the templates passed cleanly between the two applications.
Ambitious sites require a god's eye view.
They suffer from epidemic link rot, content decay, navigation tangle, and sitcom-caliber coherence. The grassroots school of web design can't help. Site builders are an urgent necessity, not a luxury. Site managers do the reverse. They deal in parts and sacrifice the whole to application whim.
