I will be honest. I am good, real good, with code and architecture and db design. That's my strength. Usability, design, color schemes, branding, accessibility, these are really my weaknesses.

Lately it seems that most of the work I've been doing has been more oriented to information architechure/design and usability. For instance right now I'm doing a reworking of a site that's just a nightmare in terms of navigation and accessibility. Simply nuts. I figure that its going to take me about twice as long to rework the navigation than if I started from scratch and did it right the first time. There are times I'd just love to slap the idiots who originally designed this crap. It may not correct things but it would make me feel a lot better right now. larry At 10:28 AM 9/9/2003, you wrote: >I agree with the roll over, but it's their header :( > >However the 508 stuff does need to be added. > >Timothy Heald >Information Systems Manager >Overseas Security Advisory Council >U.S. Department of State >571.345.2235 > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Larry C.
