I agree Mark. Personally I like it clean and simple too.

But... 

<rant>

I don't mean to disparage the lowest common denominator. I think its
very important and too often overlooked. My point (made a little too
strongly due to excess coffee) is that the LCD should not be a universal
requirement. As the author points out the web is for everyone and there
are some people out there with power computers with big screens high
resolution and loads of plugins and perverse varieties of web browser
who would like to see stuff made for them too. There is the broad public
and then there are sub cultures with niche needs/desires. Not everything
has to be made for everyone. It's a question of who is your audience
which I think is the point that Steve was, in part, alluding to. Clearly
this is a sore point for me but basically what I'm saying is that I
don't think you should have to please all of the people all of the time
which is what a lot of these arguments seem to say.

Yeah you're probably right, the article does not take a very holistic
approach to the issue. It also focuses very much on the lowest common
denominator but that's not really a new concept
(http://www.w3c.org/Consortium/Points/).

At the moment I am really liking simple sites for heaps of reasons. Look
at
www.lonelyplanet.com, a simple, attractive, low bandwidth layout and a
focus
on content & clarity. Just need some work on their markup.






Cheers

Mark
