I may disagree with the some of your points, but this is the one that matters, and it is totally true from what I've seen. I rarely see a client get excited about usability, they are already used to computers being difficult to use unfortunately. Everyone knows when they think something is cool, whether it be a flash interface or a dancing palm tree with a miami vice wav playing in the background (true story...<g>). In the end though, the guy with the dancing palm tree on his ecommerce site is going to go out of business because he has no clue what the web is about, and we won't get any more money from him. Those that have useable, maintainable sites will still be in business and we will still get money from them. Long term vs short term...I think a Flash based site still takes more resources to maintain, and our main art guy still charges more for a basic flash intro than for a basic site design... Maybe I'm a minority, but I think zeldman.com, or is much cooler looking than macromedia.com, and much more usable. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
