a) Absolutely not. Is still there someone who navigates the web using this res??
b) Of course. I mean you have to display something, don't you? But why would you make a navigation system based only on images and not on images + text?
c) This is questionable... I think that's up to that web developer who actually work for that site. He might have reason to maintain the site functionality or not.
d) Every web designer that uses flash on their sites
is (or, at least,
should be) "writing" it on the page and not including it from the start. There are users who doesn't know what flash is, or they think that flash is an evil thing !! (and this is 2007)
e) In my opinion, yes, they are. / That really depends on the nature of the website. If it's going to be a plain html site then you might not be needing any of the above but if the site will be a dynamic one, then you might need all the above things enables and even some more.
Thank you to all who can spare a few minutes.
It was my pleasure
