i'm tired of everyone talking about the web and multi-media. i'm tired of everyone talking about how the web doesn't offer the layout flexability to be taken seriously as a publishing medium. i'm tired of web pages with huge images/plug-ins used in place of html. I'm tired of people trying to convert traditional publishing techniques to the web, instead of publishing for the web.

  

the web doesn't need huge images and multiple plug-ins to be visualy intresting. html may be limited compared to traditional media, but this isn't traditional media. anyone who is willing to put a little effort into it can create unique and exciting web pages. the purpose behind the design of this web page is to prove that.

in order to prove the point, i have taken an extrem approach. there are no colors on these pages except various shades of grays. there are no background images... just plain old white. the only graphics are simplistic and consist primarly of type. the pages load fast, even on a 14.4 connection. yet it still manages to be visual impressive. html is capable of alot, if you take the time to learn how it works instead of learning how it doesn't work.

 

just by looking at a majority of the web pages out there, i'm sure there are quite a few people that disagree with me. mail me your opinions and i'll post them here
