If a general user can't use a program that was designed for him, it is your fault. If he cannot read it, if it is too complex, if it completely misses his attention or gives him the feeling the site was not made for him - all of this is the developer's fault. Or do you want to blame the user for that? > My job is to design pleesing websites, which are liked by both, the one > who pays and the average user.

People will pay you for it later. You produce good websites that work for all your users and it will pay back as there are no unsatisfied customers. You are talking about designing pleasing websites: my mother, who hasn't got a clue on how to adjust her screen, increase font-size or use any other browser than IE 5, don't you think she has the right to expect a "pleasing website" with a font she can read? ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
