Very true.
But if you want a pretty looking 1024x768 only website dedicated to just providing a few bits of information, then I am the master :)

There's more to websites than making them look nice.
Chad Niga may be able to make 'pretty looking' websites but when it comes down to the backend of the sites that's where things show.
It's like making a game, all you see is the final output, you don't see how much coding goes into making the game...
That site has user logins, most people here couldn't even manage those if they tried. That would have been a big enough task...
That's what makes me laugh, people think they can make a pretty looking website using Dreamweaver and think they're profesional...
There's sooooooooooo much more than that!
Anyone can call themselves a designer, but when it comes to making dynamic sites with more than just a pretty page, most people will crash and burn...

Just seeing what it does I can only guess how complicated it must have been.
I reckon a lot of that must have gone on propietry backends though. What did you use, ASP? JSP? Home grown? You know PHP and PostGresSQL is the way forwards :-)

Jesus almost a million pounds.
Just for the record... http://www.blackwell-synergy.com cost us just under £900,000 to develop, again due to the enourmous anount of work needed for the back end CMS

It took over 3 years to develop, it's the only thing of it's kind in the world. Although to the average jo it's not that amazing, it's the CMS behind it that cost so much and the GUI for content updaters (not front end facing) which took so long to develop

I like it, I like it a lot.
Easy to navigate, works in the two most popular screen resolutions, isn't too image based, loads fast, all the standard features of a great web site.
Nice work Tyla.
Although, under the 'History Compass Demo', the search results are not looking so hot. It appears as the Styles and images are not being applied, but that could just be because you haven't finished that segment yet.
