This is NOT something to be done in just a few hours of browsing!!!!
Imagine the firestorm if someone wrote, "My boss said I had to plan,
design, and deliver user manuals, reference manuals, and online help for
our product line. I've never written anything other than emails. But, I do
speak English, so I guess I'm a writer. I have to write a 10-page report
on how to do technical writing...and I have to do so in 16 work hours."

The request by the _boss_ is stupid, not the person who asked this list
for help--I wanna stress that. Yes, you can quickly browse the site &
books mentioned here...but you cannot propose a Web site based on just a
couple of sites. You really need to hire professionals--use Adaptive Path
(http://www.adaptivepath.com), 37Signals (http://www.37signals.com/),
IconMedialab (http://www.iconmedialab.com), or someone else whose business
it is to design sites for users.

HTH,
joe
