New V&A Waterfront website
Also take a second and visit waterfront.co.za - we launched the new site yesterday evening. Definately the biggest project I have ever worked on. If you have any valid comments, you can leave them in the guest book or contact me directly.
Strictly CSS layouts except for a few places where tables prove their flexibility over CSS, and it doesn't quite validate as Transitional HTML 4.01 or CSS2 yet, but it's the goal I'm working towards. Because standards rule.

In reply to Warrenski, I have a reply post at: http://charlvn.blogspot.com/2004/07/validation-important.html
In future, I would suggest that if you have a problem with anything I said on my weblog, please place your whole comment on my weblog, since it has a perfectly functional commenting system. Do not comment on my weblog with a link to a comment on another weblog if the comment is directed mostly at me. I am sure Mr. du Toit will agree with this. Thanks.
Thank you for the information

Have to agree whole-heartedly with coda here, Charl. As a programmer in this crazy medium, when you consider what you’re up against – both technically and in terms of meeting user expectations and branding guidelines – it’s pretty damn tough to please everybody. Not that that is used as an excuse, but at least those attempting standards-based sites are at the forefront today.
May I suggest that you do some research before rattling off your mouth in future – running a site’s homepage through the W3C validator definitely doesn’t entitle you to fair criticism of these sites. The least you could do is review the (X)HTML source and CSS on random pages within the site’s structure.
Perhaps you should devote your efforts towards advocating web-standards in the direction of the numerous goddamn awful sites that this country has produced – there literally are too many to mention, but perhaps begin with the major local online stores and corporates. That is the real challenge right now.
