Lol! Hey I'm not the guy you're looking for, as you saw I posted the other
day on the jaws scripting list, my wife is a graphics designer and she does
design any special graphics my websites need and makes sure that the final
product looks as intended. Even though as I also stated, knowing css and how
it works and relates to your site and what your site is doing can actually
yield very good results on the first try. You just have to take time to
learn cs, like everything else.
But I am not claiming to design professional site without sighted help,
especially when I'm designing 3-d effects or tranisition effects and things
of that nature. But hey, more power to the person(s) that is.
Regards, D!J!X!
