Re: FN-FORUM: Sitecheck - Updating my website - using CSS

I agree with you there, a bit, - my photography site - http://z6.co.uk -
is totally flash built and is pretty much useless on small screens but
it's aimed at big screen studios that would have flash installed the day
the machine was first turned on.

I wouldn't, however, build anything like that as, say, an online store.
