Isn’t it funny, how often cooking can be used as an analogy for other creative activities? In the case of web design, we aim to create the best possible food in spite of variable browser standards — not only tasty and nutritious (full of good content) but appealing to the eye in its presentation. Put it that way, does every diner’s plate need to look exactly the same?
