Lasting three calendar years (for a total of two-and-a-half years), this was a stable, consistent, yet flexible design.

Drawing on the The Seed for colour and tone, this look began with a dHTML menu and ended as a CSS-compatible, dHTML-less site.

While various enhancements were added over time � including a front door, and a defined banner area above the flag — the core look remained the same.

As HTML 4.0 and CSS became more consistently supported, the site presented a CSS-only pages to some standard-compliant browsers.

This look still remained for another seven years, to those visiting saila.com on browsers with non-compliant browsers and as an alternate style sheet for other browsers.
