Re: Recommendations = Resources

I was thinking along the same lines but didn't want to be so bold, however
since we got on the subject.

I had this same conversation with one of my friends/clients.  She is a
paying customer of mine and she could care less about how nice the code is
to me, or you or to any other web-rat.  All she cares about is how the page
renders and how her customers can interact with the ideas and materials
presented.

Nice code makes for a site that is easier to maintain and it makes HTML
hackers happy, but it doesn't do anything for most average customers.

I have seem gobs of Powerpoint presentations turned HTML that managers in my
company just google over.  Makes me sick.  But bottom line, most people
havn't a clue what goes into it.
