good point knighty...

Tips:

we "re-discovered" color codes a while back and its a great way to add color and panache to a page (just be careful with color combinations and keep it subtle!) with little added page weight.

use external js or css to have a dynamic site.

optimise gifs.. in fact you can probably get rid of a lot. Use the same one as much as possible on different pages to take advantage of cacheing..

Most importantly Knighty is spot on. Get creative and spend some thought and you can end up with the best of both worlds. Nothing can replace this which is gotten by experience. Its amazing what rural people around here can do with rice and a few ingredients that grow wild. They are forced to be creative and often come up with better dishes than the most swanky restaurants using expensive and imported ingredients.
