Web Marketing W05 - Site design and taking payments

     So this week we worked on site design and looked for similarities between successful websites (or websites that we might consider as a model for building our own).
     While intersting to change the point of view for looking at websites, I'm a little jaded.  I have been working on getting several web sites up to WCAAG 2.0 AA standards for accessibility.  Unfortunately, it has been a painful exercise, and one that requires a level of detail that would scare even a seasoned developer.
     I was biting my tongue a little bit this week because of it.  Fortunately, it seemed like many of my classmates quickly made the statement that they would be hiring a web designer to build for their real business.  Hopefully they will be able to find a web designer that is aware of the frequent changes to web standards and regulations.
  While I have been a paypal user and merchant for years, I haven't revisited making a payment button for a long time.  It was fun to discover some new features (like inventory tracking and controls that have made paypal buttons more dynamic.
