mondays suck.
specifically mondays after a site-launch.
I'm trying to find a way to communicate my frustrations without giving the world a direct link to the site I'm bemoaning.
Basically, take your normal, every day website. 2 column, lefthand navigation, "Netscape toolbar"-ish top.
Now, give ALL design consideration to 800x600 or larger, and every accessibility guideline known to man, and using CSS for layout.
What do you get? A decent site that degrades well for old browsers, while continuing to look good for today's web-savvy customers.
But wait! What about crusty old computer-UN-savvy users who barely know how to operate a mouse?
Oh. We didn't consider them, really. Why? What's wrong?
Well... the content shifts below the navigation. I don't see my website! How can I order if I cant see my website?!
See that thing on the right-hand side? It's a scroll bar. Scroll down.
Oh, that's unacceptible. MSN doesnt make you scroll.
