Design Philosophy

Design Principle

I want it fast, cheap, and good.

Fast

• Most pages under 3K
• Pages load in less than 1 second even at 28.8 (or while sharing my theoretical 56k with a file sharing program :)
• No images on high traffic pages. None. See "No Images" on Useit.com

Cheap

• Cheap for me (low bandwidth)
• Cheap for you (low bandwidth)
• Cheap for the Internet (low bandwith)

Good

• As W3HTML as compliant as I can make it.
• Simple design (hard for the designer ;)
• Easy navigation
• Lots of function, no frills, no fillers
• Maximum utilization of screen (few menus, no ads)
• No fancy fonts, no font tags sprinkling
• No JavaScript
• No Frames
• No tables
• No fixed-width text areas (hate those)

In Addition

To support the efforts of the Open Source community: no GIF images.

Motto

My Motto: “This site optimized for 28.8”
