Comments on: CSS Zen Garden* http://www.benklemm.de/css-zen-garden/ I'm Ben, a 26 year old hardcore media designer based in Dortmund, Germany. Since 2006 I'm employed at the redRotate / meap conglomerate and this is my Portfolio.

Unfortunately the majority of accepted official designs at the CSS Zen Garden fail miserably in this regard because most renditions require all manner of custom images. Whether one agrees or disagrees as to the applicability of the individual designs with reference to their usability versus their artistic content, IMO the CSS Zen Garden fails miserably to promote the use of CSS as the layout control method due to the requirement for the number of custom elements.

I agree with the comment above . Not all the Zen Garden submissions are as usable as your design. I appreciate the simplicity while still maintaining visual interest. Five stars! :) Wonderful example of an attractive AND user friendly web design. I agree with the comment above . Not all the Zen Garden submissions are as usable as your design.

Ist auch schon was älter, oder? Und wie ich sehe hast du auch ein neues "Portfolio" on, dass gefällt auch, ich mags minimal, sehr gut. Sag mal bist du irgendwann auch mal zum Quatschen zu erreichen oder bist du Full Service Agent? Viele Grüße Tobi Hey Ben, gefällt mir echt gut. Ist auch schon was älter, oder?

Far too many submissions to the zen garden are nothing more than interesting art projects, completely useless if they were to actually be a website. This, on the other hand, is stylish, clean, and useful! Thank you very much for submitting it, I may very well borrow some of these ideas whenever I get around to redesigning my website.

Found it on Zen garden as i visit that site frequently. Can i use your design / images on my site? and put something to mention that the design was done by you and have a link to your page http://benklemm.de? If not, that's ok. Hi,
