Why a text only version?  Make the pretty page accessible. It is easier,
cheaper, avoids a maintenance night mare, and works just as wel for the end
users.

BTW, you will find a very concise and easy to understand set of development
guidelines complete with rationale, examples, implementation techniques,
and testing procedures at:

Subject:  Tech all creating a text only site



Hi listers,
        We are updating our website at work. That means making it pretty
and full
of graphs and frames. It is going to be created using Dream Weaver. I would
like that we have an equivalent site that would be text only versions of
all the pages. There would be a button on the homepage that would say "With
graphics" - "Text only" and if the people choose text only, they would have
access to the same information as on each of the normal pages.
        How can I do that? Where can I find information about it?
        Thanks for your advice,

                        Sincerely,
                        Severine Renard
