As I wrote in my private message, those broken graphics were there only because I didn't see them in Mozilla FF for some strange reason, and in IE8 they do show. But they were there only because I use my live site as a testing ground for my graphic studies of PS and FW. Already removed those...So its not a site's bug...But I'm glad people noticed that!
I use Woopra as a paid customer and I know exactly who is my site's visitors. Their IPs, screen resolutions, OS's, browsers etc.
And I don't have bots (except for Googlebot) because Woopra is smart to know who is who. So I had about 150 people from all over the world visited my site in last couple of months and pretty much noone complained about anything.
Also you forget the MOST important thing here...is the UNIQUENESS and VALUE of the information that site brings to its visitors. After all, THAT'S the reason why people go online. Not to look at nice graphics and to make sure the code is clean. Show me ONE more site similar to mine. WHERE you can find THAT sort of info?
I don't care about disabled users...I'm not a God. I can't make them healthier. If someone is not healthy enough to visit my site, then they shouldn't. There're millions of others.
Every day I get organic Google visitors...And I don't do ANYTHING now to promote the site, SEO or Adwords and such....
I myself has a pretty low connection speed because I live in the middle of nowhere in Sweden, and here I use mobile broadband to connect. So I'm lucky if I get 40 KB per sec speed. And the site loads fine. Well, considering is that my host is pretty much the world's best one (US based)...and I pay good money for hosting.
I optimized my site for resolutions of 1024 and higher...I don't care about 800 or 640....We're not in the 90's...
I was talking about a HORIZONTAL size, of course...
Noone tweaks anything at my site. I do updates when I have time...
Also I do backups from time to time...
I don't know why some people tell me my Flash obscures something...
I use Mozilla FF 3.6.9 and IE8 and everything works great (I tried it both on 1280 and 1024 horizontal resolutions and on both 1024 and 800 as vertical. ie 1280x1024 and on 1280x800.
How would I competor stand out...Say here in Sweden and in Copenhagen they charge like up to 80$ an hour and I can charge 2-3 times less and still make a good living.
There's a difference to pay 1000$ or 2,500$ for the pretty much the same thing. Of course, if a client wants to find a better professional and pay MUCH more...that's his choice...I will have to work within my own niche, that's all.
Last, but not least...I came here for an advice and you won't get me into the pointless discussion about nothing.
