Websites which are too creative are a pain. So many of them these days use fancy Flash navigation and sometimes you have to hunt around with your mouse to even find the navigation. If it takes me more than 10 seconds to figure out how to get into the site, I leave in disgust. It's not a question of me requireing instant gratification, it's a case of "why are you people wasting my time by showing off?". Thanks for a article which is both timely and incisive. Hi Valerie,

Your humor is so — well, based on REAL! So it’s very funny. You just have a way with words, and your drawings of Purple Owl give him that certain Huh? look that is delightful and invites me in. I remember this post of Viki’s. I like her practical approach to web design for non-geek-type website owners. Me. Barb Love the cartoon at the top. Your humor is so — well, based on REAL!

I know what her question is but anyone else reading this is going to be SO curious. Joking aside, design conventions are really important. I will be adding this blog post to my intermediate Dreamweaver reading list! ROFL, Adele is such a tease! I know what her question is but anyone else reading this is going to be SO curious.
