I know someone who set up a web design company with a friend. After talking to him for a while about how they split their workload it became apparent that "web desgn" meant flash - which when you see many Spanish websites become clear. So, when a friend recently did a course in web design I asked what they taught him. Luckily it was mainly HTML, but he was surprised that I have never used flash on any of my websites. Absolutely!

Just found this blog through Technorati. Funny you should mention the Renfe website. I have always thought that most of the Spanish websites are very badly organized from the user's point of view. You can find fancy flash presentations all right, but not the information you are looking for... My number 1 "hate" site is Telefonica's website. I have this feeling that they just add stuff there, wherever it fits, without any real "plan" or site hierarchy... (But calling them is probably even worse than searching stuff on their website!) Cheers! Hi! Just found this blog through Technorati.
