I would have to disagree. I find that coming up with good visual
layouts and
good, solid web design is a large challenge. Otherwise I wouldn't
do it.
The OpenBSD website is functional for many people. However, it
could be more
functional, and work to maximum effect on all users across all
platforms.
I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what CSS is for.
It's not
just about pretty pictures. CSS and solid XHTML, when used
properly, make
your websites look great on the newest Mac and it makes them look
and work
great on lynx running on a 386. That's what good web design is all
about.
Right now, OpenBSD.org's layout and design relies on a lot of old
hacks,
which break down for many users. I find that unacceptable, just as
I find
the general attitude that something is good enough when it clearly
could be
better with a little effort to be unacceptable.
Where is your diff?
