I agree - to a point, the last thing you want to do is come off like a know it all, and if all my client wants is 800x600 compared to 1024x768 - that is a small price to pay. In the end - I would rather be paid - and have a happy customer - since they are the one that is paying and have the ability for free advertising. Now I am not saying that you should agree to a pink and green design - but that doesn't mean you can't allow the person that is paying for the item to make some of the smaller detailed decisions.

i got zinged i didnt even realize it.

Sorry if i came across as a "know it all" brother, You are correct, if a client wants it that bad, i will give it to them. Honestly, ive given clients lots of things i would never dare to showcase in a portfolio... but they liked it, they are happy and that means my check is written.

hahahaha I KNEW you were gonna say that. I am actually working on the redesign as we speak...
Adding the content now (mostly positioning the words prolly won't stick as they are now)
While you're at it take a peak and let me know how the Accorion Script is working on your browsers.. in particular, the "Contact" tab. On mine it is a bit stcky, sometimes it opens the div 100% other times not.. weird, buggy script I think.

I don't like fluid layouts, cos sometimes I use a 30inch display and the text is basically unreadable if I'm full screen, min-width/max-width is the way to go but I'm redesigning my site and it will be (is) 1000px wide. I may do something to ensure smaller screens can see a whole site with JS or something (by removing a column or something) but I haven't decided yet. Fixed or elastic widths are best not truly fluid, you should cater to large screens as well as small ones now.

I would have to agree. When i make sites for large resolution screens, i make them like 900 px wide - this way they dont take the whole screen up in case of plugins, sidebars, etc. Plus, i like to have some dead space on the sides to have a clean layout, yet i hate 800px wide sides cuz then i have to scroll more
