Hi all.

Is it just me or is the font-size on this site just a little small too
actually read.

No, both you *and* the Web site are hard to read. ;-)
Yeah but at leat my websites arn't.


The designers of the site (which is a site for designers) have quite
cleverly used low-contrast dark-gray-on-light-gray for their miniature
text, not counting where they've used blurry (non-resizeable) images for
it. How about that "FOLIO" link, eh?

These are advertising & marketing folks, specialized in getting a
message across...  :-(

I think the question needs to be asked, how the hell do they expect to
get any kind of message across with a site that is so un-readible?!.

They believe the aesthetics of the design are what's most important, and,
of course, that isn't true. It's a site which will be mostly ignored -
even by possible customers.
