Our original intent (and i think we might still do this) is to have a two sites, one for the 56k (& such) users, that won't have many flash and animation components (Cause we all know that slow downloads are a killer) and the high-bandwith section, that will eventually be a complete flash website. This seems like an interesting experiment, since in the end we can still revert to simplerer prototype websites.

Psst. Don't optimize for certain browsers! Some of us are incapable of using IE. I won't use it untill MS ports it to Linux. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Linux is an operating system...like Windows. IE is a browser. Microsoft doesn't make IE for Linux. In Linux, I mostly use the browsers: Opera, Mozilla, Konqueror, or Lynx. You can get Opera and Mozilla for Windows. Opera complies to W3C (afaik) and can't use many IE-specific HTML things. The only place I can get to on your site using Opera is the front page. There are no links for me.

That makes the site a whole lot better, I can now browse the site without having to click no on every page. ;) I really like the design, I don't really see much of a difference, however, between the dial up site, and the faster connection site. Is there one? and what is it?

Site looks great!

There is no difference now, because we haven't finished the high bandwith section, so there are no differences (except for the flash intro). Both links will take you to the same page (index3.htm). Once we finish our current project, we will have a flash based website in the high-bandwith section.

By the way, thanx for taking a look at our site, and for the nice comments. We are trying to prepare for the website competition at regionals.

Q: Will there be a website comeptition at nationals as well?

Just wondering, have you tested it only in Windows? There are other platforms that will show it differently, specifically Macs, like OS X, and Linux. You might want to get on a Mac sometime and view it with a few broswers, I'd suggest IE for Mac, Safari, Mozilla, and Chimera. Just a few suggestions to help you out.
