Get really fed up (as above) with all the flash and stuff which simply gets in the way for most people. Truth is that few in Uk actually get enough bandwidth to handle heavy pages; I am 10 miles from Norwich and get half a meg which has to be shared between my base PC and up to two laptops! Am busy working with a group to get better - BT and Govt are never going to do it! Hence the value of your site. Keep it clean and simple. And make sure the navigation always provides a valid route back! I like the simplicity of the site.
