WSA Winner
Thursday February 26th, 2004
If this site popped up on your screen you could be forgiven for thinking it was an all Flash affair (or somehow related to a fishmonger). You'd be wrong on both counts. Underneath the crisp visuals and unusual interface of this small advertising company's site it's all div's, p's and li's.
It's definitely a heavy site -- the front page weighs in at around 375kB -- but that's the price you pay for the great detail contained in the textures and images. As a grisly extra, you even get an alternate stylesheet! ("freshness guaranteed")

they are using tons of iframes.

Well, the iframes could be replaced with some kind of overflow-controlled divs, but the site does validate, as do the individual iframes themselves. They've also supplied useful noframes content that contains links to the content of each iframe. And there's nothing wrong with iframe in XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
I just looked at the site using Lynx and Netscape 4.79. There were no styles (obviously) but I was able to access all the content, so the separation of data and presentation is good.
I'd agree with this being a winner.

Great!
And it works fine on my Nokia 3650 smartphone (with Doris Browser): I can read all contents, and the logical structure is really well-done

Just note that after the colored background kicks in and until the page loads, the text on the page is near impossible to read. This is a major issue for us 56K users.
