A New Page – Who Do You Design For?
I have a section of my site where I have a tutorial about starting a web site.
It’s a do-it-yourself kind of thing.
I am adding a new page called Who Are You Designing For?
I really like websites that use shadows well.
See my favorite sites.
png images make the best shadows because you can set the opacity.
IE6 doesn’t read this and shows your clear backgrounds as solid.
IE6 is currently used by about a third of visitors.
So the question becomes at what point is it worth putting any cool looking effect on a site if 50% of the visitors won’t see it or have it distorted. How about 30%? 20%?
In the end it’s the site’s owner that will decide.
