Our comments:
Before the use of Flash has become commonplace there was DHTML which had been designed to break the limitations of HTML. With the help of JavaScript one can move images on the screen and therefore produce animation by using DHTML. For various reasons DHTML has never enjoyed Flash's popularity, but every once in a while we come across sites like GanoDesign that exclusively use JavaScript and DHTML to push the limits of web design without relying on Flash.

This multilingual design uses a reduced palette of warm colors (exactly 180 of them) excluding moving photos. The dithered background image looks surprisingly refreshing because of its bold "posterized" look. Code-wise, the design is HTML 4.01 transitional, that is it obeys all the rules while our very own code err... doesn't, but who cares anyway? :)
