Can you give us some links?  I would like to get an idea of the size 
and the audience addressed.

Spontaneous questions:  Do they have any idea about testing their 
layout with different browsers?  Do they have an idea, how much 
effort it might be to take into different browsers?

What about the audience?  Are their any requirements eg. for web 
content accessibility?  That is quite hard to achieve, when you 
only know little about the underlying technology.
