in other words if it is not full of flash and sizzle it is not attractive,
I beg to differ with you, a pleasing use of color and layout with a few
graphics can be far prefarable to a little content buried in jazzy eye
assaulting color and flash, lack of flash doe not mean dead, although
admittedly it takes a little more thought and design ability to create a
pleasing and attractive web site without all the jazz
