A little laugh for the designers...

I did this site once for a trucking firm. Their website wasn't horrendous - but it was not great.

So I created new graphics, spiffed it up and it was pretty much done (I gave them a great deal too as I knew one of the people working for them - well his wife, that's how they found me).

Then they got a new receptionist I think it was, they bought frontpage and she was fresh out of whatever school and could do the site herself. So she changed it all, kept a few of the graphics I had done, but basically this is it now. If you have trouble reading normal sized print and like things centered, I guess it's a good webpage

The flashing text I can't even read it flashes so fast.

And I think it gave me a mini-seizure.

I didn't realize so many of you do design work. You learn new things everyday!

Weird. It's not flashing on my computer.

Hand those drugs back to Peachey, Huggles!

Yea I looked at the encoding and there are 'blink' tags.

It isn't blinking on my browser though.

[Krikit 1,164]

Is there a comment section? Maybe we could suggest something a little more professional. Unless their target audience is the tweens?

Thank you!!
