Hi Sascha,

well, you even do not need a plain text site ;) to make loading fast and
convenient. Mostly, when I do webdesign for my customers (Banking companies,
communities etc.) it is necessary to view all(!) results with at least three
or four different browsers and check all results. Furthermore, I do not
use (currently) flash etc. because this is nice for the first time, but
bothers people if it\ufffds still there after the 3rd time ;)

Personally I like the design of the site, BUT: This site could be easily made
without using any proprietary code etc. and it definitely would function
the same on IE and Netscape.

IMO there always should be a balance between a "nice-looking" and
"fast-loading" site, as well as the compliance to all necessary browser
platforms. Personally I know a lot of sites that even won\ufffdt load if you
have javascript disabled or no flash installed. Well, there are my
"one-visit-wonders" :)
