[thelist] Redoing a site's design from the grounds up

[sasha]

My goal when writing any site (including personal sites)
is to give the user the illusion that my site was
designed for their resolution and browser.  Navigation
is clear (hopefully anyway), even if it isn't always
traditional looking (my previous site design had books
sitting on a bookshelf used as navigation).

I aim for classical, not corporate (this usually lets me
get away with not having to redesign too often).  I also
have done a few "liquid paintings" for the web.

Most "designers" probably consider me someone who is
stuck in the "dark ages" of design, because I use tables
instead of css for positioning.  I have no plans to
change this until Netscape 4.x stops being the #1 non-IE
browser.
