:: Better in the sense that using HTML/CSS allows for easier changes to the text, easier localization/internationalization, and it's better for user accessibility. There are other reasons laid out [http://improvetheweb.com/use-text-instead-graphics-your-website here], though some are not as relevant (page load time won't significantly increase by using an extra image, for example). Unless there's a ''really'' compelling reason to use an SVG, you should go with an HTML/CSS solution. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 02:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC) |

Hi. I cleaned up some of your code at [[Work with us]]. Tables should generally be avoided if possible. Lists should use HTML list syntax. <br> is not a substitute for using margins/padding. Those are were the key issues. The rest of the issues were largely tweaks/adjustments, I think. --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] 04:22, 25 January 2012 (UTC) |

Hi. I don't really understand the purpose of this image. Wouldn't it be better to create something like this in HTML/CSS? --MZMcBride 02:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

- Hi! i'm not sure what "better" would mean. I did actually create the button as you assert, earlier today, and decided not to use that solution because it didn't set the button off from the "page" enough (in my opinion). Mostly because of the lack of gradient (which I would love to learn how to do). heather walls 02:31, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
