"If you want to stay happy for the rest of your life, never make a web designer your wife, so for my personal point of view get another girl to marry you"
My wife's not a web designer, she's a face painter and I'm in the throes of trying to redesign her rather pedestrian website which I threw together in haste a while back. Thing is, I want to try and get my web design chops up to some sort of professional level, where net aficionados can look at it for all its web standards compliance and exquisite design beauty, but Lisa just wants a mid '90's style frames and tables horror show "like everyone else has got". Sheesh.
I spent hours of my own freaking time working and reworking a minor masterpiece of css and xhtml and came up with a relatively palatable site that looked OK on Firefox but, as was expected looked like an unmade bed on IE.
I sent the url to my sister who works for the local council where they run computer specs straight out of the 70's. She's a good testing site for low resolution html rendering as a result of the council's PC frugality and the verdict was negative. I had to virtually start again. I can see why most of the web-design community stick to tables and <font> tags. Who needs this css crap anyway. I'll keep chipping away. I suppose the more I do the easier its going to become.
Watch this space.
