Hey spez, fellow 11-year club member here. I understand why you're rearchitecting the site, but redesigning the home page at the same time is a huge mistake. If you want to fix the architecture, do it incrementally while keeping the site exactly the same. Once the code is more maintainable, then you can mess with design changes. Rewriting everything at once is the classic recipe for software disaster[1].
