Hello Tim, You asked about good websites that cover web design. There are many organisations with information about website design and accessibility. Examples are the HTML Writers Guild (HWG) and the Wold Wide Web Consortium www.w3.org. If you are interested in accessibility of your site you might also take a look at the special branch of w3, the Web Accessibility Initiative (www.w3.org/WAI). Other interesting sites are www.webreview.com and the site of Nielsen (www.nngroup.com). Nielsen is of course the absolute guru in the field of usability of the internet. His weekly articles are a must for serious webdesigners. So is his latest book 'designing for web usability'. There are many books about webdesign. I recently finished one myself about accessibility of internetsites and internet-based multimedia, making the Internet visually accessible for a fast growing group of internetters, the elderly (book can be ordered at www.bartimeus.nl/publications.html). Call me as soon as you find someone who can ship water through the net :-). In the mean time I hope this information helped you.

I'm supposed to be putting together our company site (eventually with maps), and could use some pointers and ideas. It's just going to be an information website - no e-commerce until someone figures out how to ship water through the net. TIA, will sum.
