Lou Rosenfeld talks about options in selecting components for an online

Here's a table showing the components.

Perhaps the table will be of use? (I do believe the thoughts about
selecting components is of benefit.)

Have a nice day

Although the rest of the site is a bit of a shocker (that is Australian 
for really bad), I actually found this table last month when I was 
comparing hosting benefits from different ISPs and personally found this 
one to be so much easier to understand as a user than other sites (which 
admitedly had no benefits tables).

Here is another example from the company where I am contracting at the 
moment.  I am not responsible for this but I think it is clear and clean 
(although I would prefer to center the ticks).

This is an Australian site and you should be aware that I have noticed 
that Australians are much more used to "ticks" than North Americans.   
For example, we normally say "tick the box" whereas in the States I 
noticed you would typically say "check the box".       In this case you 
may which to use some other symbol such as a dot (as per the other example).

Look forward to seeing your summary posting.

Hi - pls find attached a template with some dummy data in for a feature function list - this is possibly the most useful thing in developing a website (so of course its completely underutilised)
