The maven layout looks like it has been designed by a "designer". > > except that the website is not only for geeks. It's also for people > > that make decisions and have money. > > Says who? Me. I wan't to use jakarta stuff in the 'corporate' world. Parts of the corporate world want a 'sleek' looking site. Where it doesn't hamper anything else, I think there is no problem making the site look 'sleek'. > Personally, I leave the eye-candy to others, and focus on functionality. I thin navigation is part of functionality, not eye-candy. Without navigation, you need to know the address of every web page on the site. > I'm not saying that I would be particularly interested in any design > anyone else came up with.

Since I believe the changes I need to make will benefit all of jakarta, I am trying to make them in a way that all of jakarta can live with. > Personally, I'd say it's better that our sites don't look ~too~ good.

I think some of them would rather not be associated with something looking like an all-you-can-eat ;) As long as we agree that nothing should get into the way of site functionality (and we do), why would you oppose a site that also is easy to navigate and looks good? regards, - Leo __________________________________________ Launch your own web site Today!
