About this site

Great interview
Web designer Jeffrey Zeldman discusses Apple, Web standards, and Mac OS X in this great interview (on a total newbie Mac site, which is bizarre); it's great because of what Jeffrey says, not because of the questions, which are often inane (and in some cases, just wrong: The Mac's market share is 2 percent, for example, not 5 percent). Still, his comments about developing to open standards is well-put. "It takes the same amount of time and money to design with standards as it does to design for IE/Win only," he says. "If you design with standards, your site will work in Windows, Mac OS, and Linux/Unix. It will work in IE, IE/Mac (which is a different beast), Safari, Mozilla, Opera, Omniweb and Konqueror. It will likely work in Palm Pilots, in text browsers, in web-enabled cell phones, and in screen readers used by people used by people with disabilities. If you spend the same amount of time and money designing for IE/Win only, your site will only work in IE/Win." Bravo.
