Choice of colours was the customer's - they picked colours they felt would
be eye-catching (damaging) (!)

You should all feel great as struts developers - although this will not be
surprising to the initiated - to know you've completely usurped Microsoft
ASP and the shiny new Microsoft ASP.NET as the chosen development framework.

Not a decision that was taken lightly - functioning versions were built in
both ASP and ASP.NET (and in vanilla JSP and initially PHP). Decision was
based on struts reducing the development time AND maintenance overhead this
would entail in the future. Struts was a CLEAR winner.

Once this site is in full production use in a few weeks time there will also
be a section added on the website about the technology used and
acknowledging the use of the struts framework. A separate section will also
be referenced on the development website giving the technical justification
for why struts was chosen as the framework.

Aiii! My eyes!

Seriously, good job. We're glad that Struts could be helpful. Amazing what a
well designed framework will do for your enthusiasm in getting the job done.

I sure don't disagree. I'm doing a site for my wife -- a college prof -- in
my spare time. It's a very simple site, maybe 10 - 12 pages total, but I'm
using tiles for it because it makes life so much easier. Without it I would
have an amalgamation of includes, and life would generally be much more
difficult.

Tiles or death!
