Both (pretty, and expressions of what confused you) are very valuable. I've demo'd it to a number of people and watched as they pondered what to do. It makes you want to yell, "Just click on....!!!". But I don't know how to visually lead them to the controls pertinent for each screen. We've had suggestions, for example, on the passage study page, to surround: "Passage Study", the current Bible and where to change it, current verse and verse navigation, with some kind of swoosh graphic-- kindof saying, "On this screen, these are the important pieces of navigation"
But I don't know. I don't think anyone would say that I'm a very good UI designer.
So, please suggest! And any contributions would be greatly appreciated. There are a number of us with 'sandboxes' set up so we can play with the pages and show our ideas. Let me know if you're volunteering to have a go at some stuff.

I think it looks decent (nice and clean, maybe not flashy but certainly not ugly). I agree it can be a bit confusing on first use. Which was their priority--colors and graphics or functional UI improvements?
I can do pretty, but slower than any "real" designer. If they're thinking more functionally, I could at least express what confused me and offer suggestions for improvement.

Hey guys. We've finished up about 80% of the functionality for the web tool and are not looking for people to make it look pretty / work more intuitively.
ABS is happy with the functionality, but they are about to go out and pay someone to redesign the user interface. I'd hate for us to have spent so much time on the real meat of the project to offer this as a free gift to them, and then they have to go pay someone to add colors and graphics.
Any volunteers would be greatly appreciated by ABS and me, as well.
