It's like they're too busy validating their sites to worry about marketing ;-) I’m sure there are more talented designers in Alabama, but I only list designers that choose to be listed on Xemion.com I’ve advertised Xemion on CSS Beauty, Stylegala and the CSS Vault to attract standards-based designers, but I haven’t had a great response.

Then again, I think it is a problem that is found just about everywhere. You have schools like Herzing and Virginia Tech telling anyone that they can be a web designer, and teaching them tools like Dreamweaver without passing along any basic usability knowledge.

I was browsing Xemion to see if Alabama based web design companies were making a move to standard based websites. <a href="http://www.kineticcom.com/" title="Kinetic Communications" rel="nofollow">kinetic</a> seems to be the only one I am familiar with here in Birmingham producing standards based sites. You would probably be a good person to ask about other design companies here in AL making the effort. Hey Jeremy,
