Sometimes, at the end of the day, those who are commissioning a web
site will not accept one's best advice, and one has to accept a
compromise (unless the situation is crass enough to want to walk away
from). That's the way things are. But it isn't going to stop me from
offering best advice to the next one who asks, and offering it here
too if the question is raised.
I don't accept your accusation that I "deny the importance of
representation" . But I -do- try to give priority to the end user.
As a general comment without any specific relevance to the current
issue of detail, but:
Sometimes I think that many commercial web sites have been designed
primarily for initimidating their competitors (popularly known as
"pissing around the boundaries of the territory"), without any clear
consideration for those who actually want to _use_ the pages, i.e
their customers and potential customers.
Some of them even have concealed or hard-to-find back doors for
customers to bypass the intimidation, and actually get to the content.
Often, one only finds those back doors by talking to their support
staff: I'm naming no names, but I have several companies in mind that
we need to cope with day by day.
