Brilliant read, Dale. In my experience - some of the best software can be found on crappy looking sites, the more flashy they get - usually means the more expensive their product is - if you can even find a price without having to fill out a form a mile long and be hounded by their salespeople who still may never give you a firm answer on their pricing.

Dale,

I like sites that are kept simple just like your own. I have used your site to prove to some of my customers that are still on dial up internet connections that there are no problems with their computer.

I have come across web sites that are even slow to load on broadband. I don't mind a bit of graphics, but when a whole site is in graphics, I will not be back.

I have just started redesigning my web site with just a very small amount of graphics, the rest will be just plain or will have colour boxes just like yours. I will also know it will work on any computer with any type of internet connection.

Dale please keep your site the way it is.
