Sorry Sir. You don't get off that easily.
When you call somebody's work "****" it's offensive no matter how you
spin it.
And yeah, I took offense.

Actually, I DID check out the competition!
And my boss and I came up with this design.
Sorry but I don't have a real creative visual eye for graphic design.
And, frankly I kinda like some of the stuff we came up with.
The boss has been getting good response for 2 years from the site we
originally designed which, in our opinion, isn't as good as this one.
Suffice to say, you aren't a bride in need of a limo service for your
wedding so you don't know what they want.
And you must have been doing this long enough that you've lost sight
of how hard it really is.
I know html and css relatively well, and it's a ***** trying to make
it work in a variety of browsers.

No you didn't. My website being "****" is NOT a fact. It's your
opinion.
Again, you can't spin it any other way.
> And now I even provided you with a solution.
You provided a solution in your original post and good advice it was.
If you'd have offered that advice without the editorial comments we
wouldn't be having this conversation.
> I am expecting another URL in 2 weeks from you.
A worthy challenge.
Unfortunately I'm buried up to my ass in work above and beyond this
site.
I will do my best with it and as long as the customer is happy, that's
all I will worry about.
Without a doubt I'm smart enough to know that if I can please harsh,
in-the-know critics like you, my work will be far better. But I also
know that average people don't scrutinize these things as hard as you
do and will be happy with much less.
Yes, I aspire to satisfy the former, but will settle for the latter
until then.
Thanks for your advice, and, perhaps you should try to sugar-coat it
in the future so as not to offend sensitive folks like me.
:>)
And thanks to everyone else that offered advice.
I will use it all as best I can.
