Kelly,
Rather than editorialize, which I'm quite capable of doing, I would like to
direct your attention to the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility
Initiative: http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/.
Become very familiar with the do's and don't of graphics, animation, and
"flourishes" and what a responsible web developer would do to make their
content accessible to the widest possible audience. The WAI Guidelines and
Checklists will help you navigate through a maze of issues you probably
wouldn't think about otherwise, but they're also a lot of issues that you will
be glad you considered as you do your development work.
