Matt,
I think Galina has a great site, and it is a real shame it doesn't work
for everyone. The responses here suggest that there are quite a few people
having problems accessing it - rather more than I would consider
acceptable; either we have a very biased sample of web users or there are
some real problems with the design. Possibly armed with this information
Galina can go back to her web designers and get them to improve its
accessibility.
I don't think people are criticising Galina's images or ideas, and it is
unhelpful to suggest this as in your comment.
Regards,
Peter Marshall
