How is it amateurish, Stupid, it's supposed to look like it's UNDER
WATER...tell us all though, how would you make text look like it's
under water WITHOUT altering the kerning? Uh oh, didn't quite think
that one through too good, didja?

>Badass web designers complete their site before declaring it thusly (ie:

Well since I currently don't have any products to sell, it might be a
little hard to put them up. As for the contact information, yeah
right, what are you fucking stupid? I get enough contract work
WITHOUT putting any contact information on there, I'm not looking to
flood myself just yet.

If you're blind and deaf, yeah I suppose they would be pretty
worthless, but then the design wasn't made around people like that.
I'm sure in your perfect world 'o Stupid all sites would have plain
white backgrounds with plain black text and no graphics at all...but
then you wouldn't know art if it crawled up yer ass, laid eggs and
they hatched inside you and ate their way out. And uh, your bitching
about the sounds and such is an AESTHETIC perspective.

That would be a copy editing issue and has nothing AT ALL to do with
DESIGN, Stupid.

Stupid, every site that's ever been made could be called a box on a
background. I dunno, maybe in the land of STUPID they make like
triangular monitors or something, but here in REALITY, all monitors
are some kind of box shape.

>Totally uncool.

Yeah, throw yer whole fuckin monitor out the window, it's a fuckin
box, that's totally uncool. All the cool kids have TRAPEZOID
monitors!

>And what's with the scroll bars that aren't needed?

Which site are you referring to and what browser and OS are you using?
I think you're starting to confuse design problems with shit browser
problems.

>The rollovers are trite and overused.

How so?

>Nothing "badass" here.

Actually there are several bad ass things about that site...none of
which an AMATEUR like you would ever notice or realize. That's one of
my oldest sites though and I could do a lot more "badass" things with
it, by utilizing more PNG alpha transparencies to cut the total site
size down to 1/5th of it's current standing.

Maybe on the Mac it doesn't.

....what "white box in image"? Again, must be some kind of a mac
issue.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.backwater-productions.net/wwcc/histology-1/index.html

Well considering the W3C is the one making the claim...uh, yeah. Dum,
dum, dum!

That site was designed to work specifically for Internet Explorer on
the PC, no other browser or OS, that was the clients
choice...partially because it was just a prototype, so it only needed
to work on one browser and OS.

Everything you look at on a Mac is trash.
