| I, too, have been creating web sites since there was a web. (I make my living as a programmer, principal languages SQL, C#, C++, and Python.) Though I think you are being too harsh, the only statement with which I actually disagree is this: I have never heard of a web designer leaving the audience at the mercy of some default browser behavior There is a major strand in design thought which suggests that the more you allow the browser to control the layout, the better. The benefits of this approach became clear when mobile devices swarmed the field: plain-vanilla sites still looked good on phones without any user intervention, while highly 'designed' sites were unusable at any resolution but the one chosen by the designer. The current compromise, 'responsive' design, is a significant improvement, but it's much more complicated than either of the old approaches, and takes longer to get right. That's clearly what's going on here. I'm still holding off my comments on the design until next week, as requested. | |

| >I'm still holding off my comments on the design until next week, as requested. That is considerate of you. I hope that others would do that, and would also email their concerns, also as requested. I'd be shocked if they didn't make some additional changes in the near future, but I'd also hope that we could allow the volunteer staff here to have their holidays. Maybe we could all cool our jets for just a few days - even (especially?) if that means stepping away from the computer for a little while. If the Germans and English could have a Christmas truce in 1914, maybe the critics and armchair designers could try the same. | |
