Hi,
Very slick design, I'll grant you that, but it sacrifices a lot of usability. I for one try to avoid sites that rely on flash at all cost, and would rather go to a competitor's site if it's more accessible and customizable.
Why use Flash when CSS is so powerful design-wise and still lets the user decide about window size, font size etc.?

Quote:Interesting points, I never thought about increasing the size of the overall page. So is it the small text that is annoying, or scroll bars - or combination of the two?Interesting discussion, considering that the WWW and HTML originally have been designed to be device independent... and what happened? People start to use Flash with preset sizes. When I look at your site on my 1600x1200 monitor, I see a very small box at the top of an otherwise blank page, using only about a quarter of the actual window size - and I'm forced to use scroll bars to see read its contents?!? :wacko:Plus, it uses very small fonts that I cannot increase in size, which I would be able to do with normal HTML. :angry:
