>From someone who *does* class himself as a professional web developer (not
designer), I'd say those are perfectly adequate sites.  Nothing special,
nothing too disastrous - they work, and they fulfill their requirements.
Easy to navigate, quick (at least over an ADSL link :-) ) to load, nothing
too clever (which is something I'm guilty of).  If I were the marketing
manager of a huge multinational company, I wouldn't employ you to do my
website, but as you say - it's not your full time job.

might take a closer look at Rik's posts. He misrepresents himself, claiming
a professional status (and a distasteful accompanying arrogance) that he
does not possess. He treats any and all criticism with disdain. I've found
his attitude infuriating, and yes, I suppose I've over-reacted.

Yes, he does.  (And you're not the first person to mention that, either on
the list, or in a couple of private emails I've had from people on the list)
And maybe you did.  And I think I did.  But hey - what's this forum for if
it's not for expressing opinions?
