Re: Critique of Non-Profit Society site

Karen...

I agree with you. Could she possibly be color blind ?  General rule of 
thumb for starters is, no more than three different colors on a page and 
why anyone would put that purple color on the mousovers on top of the blue 
and next to the red is a tad beyond me...maybe because they can ? LOL

Without being rude, I just think the site lacks imagination and given the 
subject matter, it could be terrific with a little effort. Your designer 
might cook the best meal in the world, but if she throws it on the floor 
before she puts it on the plate, nobody's ever going to find out. 
Presentation and content go hand in hand.

I guess she knows that the scrolling background will only work in IE 
too...you might care to point that out also...she can't argue with that 
one...fact is fact :)

Good luck.
