May I see some good examples?

Hey, where's your smiley, SpaceGirl? I figure you must be joking to post
a Flash site as a good example in a newsgroup for *html* critiques.

hah!

Microscopic, low-contrasting text doesn't exactly fit the criteria,
either, methinks.

Which shows how little you know about design, marketing and targeting
an audience

They must be targeting those folks who are attracted to shiny objects
and are mesmerized by movement on screen, like toddlers or TV executives.

Or people who like white.
The Flash doesn't load at all in my Opera. It does in Firefox, and I
do know I have Flash enabled in Opera too, so I'm guessing it needs a
certain version of Flash and they don't bother to tell the visitor
that? I only get a blank screen.

How does "low-contrast text" have anything to do with "targeting an
audience"?

Designers need to be careful they don't unconsciously use fluff-speak such
as "targeting an audience" to justify /restricting/ an audience - it's
just not the same thing.

LOL.

Lots of things look pretty (on paper or on screen), but that doesn't
mean I can read the fine print without a magnifying glass, or that I
want to sit in the dark just to improve the contrast on screen.

A site doesn't need to be "pretty" to work well. The problem I have is
with designers to boxed in to understand the WWW is so much more than
static pages and HTML. Random digs at flash display nothing other than
the shortsighedness of the poster, I think

I may not be a graphic designer, but I'm not totally clueless on the
subject of targeting an audience. Someone just sent me this link and
wanted my opinion on the site:

From strictly a usability standpoint, it's about as bad a site as you'll
ever come across. I concede, however, that it may be entirely
appropriate for their particular target audience, which obviously isn't me.

LOL! yes
