Thanks Scott. BTW, bad things happen when Marketing (or Accounting) drives anything related to IT.

RE: looking for recommendations for web development companies
not at all! this is exactly why I continue to subscribe and read the PLUG list after all these years. I have more of a sysadmin and networking background; coding is definitely outside my professional skill set but I learn a tremendous amount through the list and get exposed constantly to new (to me) things that I can explore on my own. I understand what you are saying and I am indeed going to read up on Flex. I am not a professional programmer but it helps me in my job to have as wide a view as possible of the issues they face and the tools they have available to move the effort forward. Thanks!

Re: looking for recommendations for web development companies
I have always been a fan of the lean site, if you smear graphics and animation all over the place it is usually at the expense of content on the site. this is a lazy way of doing it and i have never really liked a site that fell back to that to try and stand out. i understand if you are presenting something visual you want to make the site work in that manner, however this should be an accent not the body of your site. and this becomes even more obvious when you start talking accessibility and it all leads to sloppy/lazy code.. -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.

The other thing I usually try to show people that rely ONLY on JavaScript for input validation is that not only can I turn off JavaScript but I can also circumvent their so called 'security' and put complete garbage data in their database (or worse do sql injection) because they chose to be a bit lazy about input validation and to not ALSO do input validation on the server side. I usually only put in simple JavaScript such as alert boxes and opt to do all of the important logic on the server side where they'll have a harder time circumventing it. That said it has been quite a while since I've built an entire site from scratch... I'm wondering if I could buy one of my own products from my Joomla based shopping cart using links!

Re: looking for recommendations for web development companies
I appreciate your interest in looking to the community for ideas for development support. However I am concerned about what you are seeking in your web design goals. I as a blind person, take particular exception to things like heavy animation and eye candy! Frankly, eye candy most often flies in the face of accessibility; that is, the more eye candy, the more flash and the more animation someone throws at a website the far less easy it is for a blind person to even navigate around on such a site. Sory if I come off negative here but I think there should be a lot more to a good website than just artistic beauty or cuteness. In fact, I'm personally studying web development on my own time since my recent lay-off but it is all being done on a LAMP type setup - Linux Apache, MySQL (actually postgresql in my case) and php so I can eventually become marketable with these newer more modern skills.
