But do you want the developer (not designer) to tell you about the
problem your design might cause? (maybe dial up customers can't see the
windmill correctly) "I" sure would want to know that information if it
were my website. Then after I weight it, I may decide to do it anyway.


So I want a developer that will tell me things I may not know or
understand, then follow the directions I give.
