Another thing would be put how first works as a page not a pdf.
the resources are very extensive, very nice! Otherwise very nice site!
Thanks for the kind words & suggestions! I'll work on implementing them.

I disagree with your point that we should "try to add our own" code. We decided that our team could create a better website by using "other peoples code," as you say, in the form of a CMS and various extensions. We see no need spend valuable time to "try to add our own" code when we can use open source modules and components that do exactly what we need. We have a small and very busy website team, so we decided that our time was better spent not recreating web applications just for the sake of creating them ourselves.

By the way, there is quite a bit of custom code behind the site. Most of it, however, is only accessible by authenticated team members.
