Re: Would you take a complimentary course on HTML from a company whose website looked like this?

Aaron,

what are we discussing here, modernization of 5250 apps or public web
pages,
IMHO it is two different things.

What I have done in the past that works well is to have a creative
developer
(what we call them) put together a template for the home page and a
template
for internal pages. Then I as the programmer add form field content to
the
designated template areas.

Works pretty well and doesn't cost that much (around $1k - 2k depending on
how extensive your template is). That's a small amount to pay to have a
site that is pleasing to look at - which in turn keeps people on your site
longer than a single click.

"Great" web designers may be subjective. But rudimentary html and CSS

can

help fill a lot of business needs. Might not have "flaming logos" but
will pump out the information.

If for no other reason than proof of concept that web design can be done
on some internal project...
Or, that the problem with the performance of the pretty web page is not
the i but the "artists" method of bringing down the whole database on

the

i at every request and transform the data into his separate server.

Then maybe they can team up.
