I've gotta agree on this one. Generally all I can think when I use browser-based design tools is how much faster/easier it would be for me to go into Photoshop or better, the code itself. I think the biggest flaw in these apps is they start people with either an amateur design or a blank template instead of exposing the grids and guides that define a website (and further define the limitations of web design) right of…

CSS3 and HTML5 brings back bad memories. It's easy to abuse, I've done it myself intentionally here: http://cats4gold.net/ostar/ - CSS 2D transforms, CSS background-size, CSS3 selectors, HTML5 audio and JavaScript.

By the way, the site is actually a collaboration between me and two others. Orangestar had put up some binaural beat files on his website, so cats4gold and I jokingly made this site in his name to promote them. And then it kinda grew fr m there.
If you enter the site, you'll notice it is not actually one site, but three linked together.
