    Graphics is primitive. Doing detailed vector graphics is very time consuming and using raster graphics - photos and clipart is not Inkscape's strong side. At least for me as web designer the site does not tell me to abandon Photoshop CS2 under wine =)

    The advantage of SVG is scalability. SVG works great for that and also works great as a flash alternative when combined with Javascript.

    The most time consuming process, the vector or raster, is very relative. For me, raster design is more time-consuming.

    Inkscape is not a raster app and cannot be used for photos and clipart - for that I use GIMP.

    I do not advice you to abandon Photoshop too, but Photoshop is to expensive for me and I love open source on the other hand.

    Thanks for your reply though

    I've tried doing that some time ago, and I have to say that it is enjoyable to work with Javascript and SVG. It keeps things simple. However, I've come across some cross-browser issues, primarily with making text appear and disappear (Firefox vs Konqueror vs Opera). It's really no big deal but I've put off my exploration of this method for now.

    Anyway...

    Open Source Web Design and Developement definitively works, I made my site with open source tools.

    Another handy tool that one can use with Linux is Xampp, it's a local installation of Apacahe, MySQL, PHP (and a couple more) so that you can build and test your site locally on your computer before you upload it to the web. Pretty handy if you need to test planned changes to your site

    Hi Stratos,

    I want to say that that CSS is great and very easy to learn. I am writing a full CSS tutorlial (in parts) from beginner to advanced and I have the first part ready - it just needs some polishing. It would be a good idea to subscribe so that you can be updated with the CSS tutorials.
