    just my two cents here...
    i think that designs that contain one layout should have the < 200kb rule, and there should be an increased limit for multiple layout designs. and yeah i think the image limit might need a little boost.

    As far as IE testing goes, perhaps there could be "compatibility specs" that accompany every design. For instance, you could list the different browsers and the templates compatibility with them:

    Compatibility:
    • IE 6: Poor
    • IE 7: Below Average
    • Firefox: Excellent
    • Opera: Excellent
    • .
    • .

    Get the idea?

    @Christopher: The part where I had "The combined size of all images must be less than 60KB" was an oops and I removed that part from my comment.

    I was borrowing from the old OWD design guidelines but LobsterMan and I with others in the beginning of the thread said a total cap of 200 KB, so that's what the number is.

    The 60 KB is for OWD.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    hehe no problemo, i thought it was most likely a mis print but had to bring it up to check anyway :)

    One question: my templates validate as Strict, but recently I started adding a Transitional DTD instead because some users may not know how to keep a valid Strict page. Those experienced may change the DTD as they wish. Which do I choose then when I submit?

    The one that appears in the DTD should be the one you select.

    sofaspud: good idea. I think the concept of browser compatibility should factor in somehow, and there are so many ways to do it.
