Re: critique site please www.crisscrosstech.com

I have no suggestions for adding more visual interest. The site is very
well designed already. In this case, less is more. Those who are sighted
see a site that is already quite visual. :-) Congratulations that your
target audience is thrilled! 

On a Mac, I viewed crisscrosstech.com with IE 5.0, AOL 5.0, Netscape
4.5, and Netscape 6.0. Your CSS worked and/or degraded perfectly in all
browsers except AOL. Mousing over a link caused other text in the same
cell to partially or totally disappear. The behavior was erratic, but
consistent -- if that makes sense. Clicking up or down the page and then
back again caused the browser to redraw the cell correctly. In Netscape
6, the criss-cross background image beside "Welcome to . . . " did not
display, but that is probably minor.

I also checked out the site with stylesheets turned off and it looked
great.

I have been putting greater emphasis on accessibility and I learned a
few things from your site. I will probably write you offlist when I get
a chance and pick your brain a little, with your permission.
