Thanks, Julie. As you know, there are so many variables that can change how someone sees a web site that it is quite a challenge to a web designer.

Even when I use a black background, I never use pure white text.

And, animation / Flash - I think a lot of that is too busy and distracting for elegant artwork. The attention goes on the animation instead of the work.

Firefox reading problems

Hi Monique,

I must admit that I am using Firefox, and couldn't see the pictures on your website.

It is soo hard to make a website that everybody, with every software, can read as we want them to read it.

I happen to live now in a place where the internet connection can be achieved only with a 64 kb modem (!!!), and I would like to give a little advice to other artists, concerning websites : please try to put pictures as light as possible (without, of course, dimishing their quality) so any computer with a modem connection can download them in a fair amount of time (or people won't give a second look to your website before a certain time). This advice goes for my own websites too, I have to work on them now!

Cheers,
Karine
