from their notes of what they liked/disliked and the sites they chose. looks to be pretty specific to what they are shooting for...

graphic heavy, but not large graphic texture bgs.
large images
easy section scrolling/mobile use
clean easy to read typefaces
uncluttered blog layout


going to be hard to juggle between as much content as they have and something graphic heavy, but one with a static on scroll top nav bar, somewhat large sectional homepage (without being kickstarter product 1pg style) while still having easy to read content looks like best bet.

only a few in there.
i think the 'james renwick' content layout is good mixed with the 'craft council' graphic design, layout and pleasing to the eye. would be a nice mix.
