[PLUG-TALK] Web Site Standards for Look 'n' Feel

[Rich Shepard]

   Many of you develop web sites for businesses. Are you aware of any
standards for the site's look and feel?

   I ask because I completely re-wrote my site based on feedback from a
business advisor. A couple of linux folks whom I greatly respect tell me that
they like it, but the business advisor tells me that it doesn't adhere to the
"standards" for a business site; it looks too much like a written page, among
other complaints. I've not been able to find any such standards by searching
with Google.

   So, I'm asking for feedback from a broader range of viewers. Off-list
replies are fine. Regardless of what any of us do, some folks will like it,
some will dislike it, and the rest will yawn with indifference. Since I've
not had anyone call or e-mail based on his visit to my site, I really have no
idea how it's seen by a range of viewers. The URL is
