    Yeah, I have been seeing that, I have been looking into Chineese & Japaneese web sites and they are overwhelming.

    I have also been looking at interanational non-profit web sites. There is one in particular that I have come across that does something similar to what we do.

    http://www.cert-int.com/main.htm…

    And with the exception of their flash intro, our site is similar to that too, just a mess of links. Main navigation on top, sub-navigation on the right and then footer navigation that mirrors the main navigation on the bottom.

    Would people in say, Japan or Africa have a hard time adjusting to the conventions that are acceptable in web navigation today? Are user's in diffrent areas of the world ok with scrolling up and down a page to find their information, like we have become accustomed to with web 2.0?
