Hi Christopher, just wanted to mention that you might want to look at why
you are putting the web page out there to determine the architecture.
For example, there are a lot of commercial "intra-net" that is web enabled
applications, for a corporation that probably don't need a lot of graphics
or flash-style features, usually because they are so database heavy that it
takes forever to run and this would just annoy the users.
Then, you have "inter-net" applications that are either e-commerce where
they need to attract attention but still perform at a corporate level, and
then sites that are just out there for show, which could use flash and can
be very graphic heavy.
For myself, I avoid anything that has a black ground with white text -
horrible to read - or loads layers of images - rarely worth the time in
MHO....
