Very few websites are half as good as printed catalogues.

Hopefully this will change as more and more people convert to broadband.

All a faster connection speed does is to allow prettier sites with fancier
effects. The DTI has an excellent set of guidelines for anyone who wants to
design a web site, including the facts that most people will give up if
pages take more than about 8 seconds to download or if they cannot reach the
required product in three mouse clicks or less. Few web designers seem to
have read them.
