I'm not sure what the site was originally designed on, but it's very
nice looking on a mac, but a little dark on a PC (lighter under X than
windows, tho'). This is of course due to the use of different gamma and
a slightly different color map on the different platforms, but if you
know about it, you can compensate for it (use highly contrasting colors,
don't make anything too dark, etc.)

Geoff Long (corp. webmaster) and I had that image loading problem when
we tweaked the graphics for maximum performance on our corporate
website. Still not sure why it does it, but I'm looking into it. As
far as the code is to maintain, the PHP site doesn't look that
complicated, although I've grown accustomed to the convienence and
flexibility of Web Objects, so I could be totally wrong.. :-)
