Thanks folks for the great responses. I will certainly incorporate some of
the things you've mentioned into my business behaviours from now on

However, it seems fairly apparent that none of you have encountered the
problems I'm talking about (except Marc, I think). Perhaps I wasn't clear
enough. The kind of clients I get are clients who think this is a great site
: www.canadianlakes.com.au

And it does look quite nice. Pity about the fact that it still isn't indexed
by Google after it has been up for around two years. And you folks can
easily spot all the other problems such as the poor navigation, table
layout, and the fact that many pages have no text on them whatsoever. They
don't even use CSS to colour fonts or links (but who needs to when you can
use yet another image?). A year ago, that site had no text at all

If you still don't know what I'm talking about; if you've never encountered
this, don't trouble yourselves. You're lucky

Mike Kear says "It's my opinion that if you are losing business because you
are quoting on standards-compliant sites, then you're doing it all wrong.
Standards compliance should give you a competitive advantage over the other
mugs who haven't learned about standards yet."

I totally agree with you, Mike, which is why I adopted standards and attempt
to provide accessibility. Unfortunately, it is not working for me. So, what
do you do?

Thanks again, folks
Lachlan
