 Hi Dick,
 DR>    I just wish everyone who has a web page would heed your advice.  
 DR> Save the graphics for the products and keep the main pages for data 
 DR> (which is why I am there in the first place).
 LC> Since designing web pages is one of the services my company offers our
 LC> customers, I was most interested in this advice, too.  I thought it
 LC> was all right on the money, but so well put and succinct that I copied
 LC> it to keep as a handy reference tool.  Often times customers want so
 LC> many bells and whistles on their web pages that we know full well the
 LC> page will have the opposite effect from the one they want, and if we
 LC> do exactly what they say they will be disappointed in the results and
 LC> never hire us to do that for them again.  It's really difficult to
 LC> explain why having too many graphics will be counter productive, plus
 LC> arguing with a customer is a good way to lose a customer.  I think the
 LC> way the advice was worded will be extremely helpful in such no win
 LC> situations. 
 I've been watching this echo fairly regularly recently, but since not all
 mail gets through to me sometimes, I think I missed the advice you refer
 to above. I would be most interested in reading it too, since I am just
 about to take over the designing and updating of our church/school page.
 Could you possibly repost for me (and others who may have missed it)?
 Thanks very much.
