That basically tricks the browser into thinking there is text there while adding a really snazzy image. Of course that is technical jargon that most of your clients wont understand. :P Oh and Asim thats a technique where they have set a background image, put menu text in but then put a text-indent: -1000px or something like that.

Is it okay if I link to this on my design website once I have built it? The question list is exactly what I would advise anyone to ask a designer, it's important to understand <b>how</b> the designer/developer will bring your website to life. Also another note to add would be to make sure that their developers work in the same way as most developers can output whatever they want and the designer will just have to style it. I think a freelancer is definitely the way for small-medium sized businesses. In most cases we cost a little more but the overall result is double. As long as you pick the right one!

I have been a web designer in Leeds for many years and most clients just want to be able to understand what all this technobabble actually means.

Although not always put into practice some of big websites don't even validate, it's disapointing but expected with the browser wars.

You mentioned that: "You can tell if a designer has used an image for something by simply trying to select the text with your cursor." Which most of the time is true but not always for example look at http://www.dollopdesign.com the headings appear as images but go to the source code and no image exists just text...magic? Good Blog.

I think if client knows these question then they can easily figure out that the designer are professional or not. Keep up the good work.
