It’s astounding how many web designers forget to specify a background color on their site. They’ll spend months iterating wireframes and design comps; write CSS hacks for browsers predating this century; test their work on everything from Blackberries to old Macs running System 7; and of course they’ll validate their markup and style sheets. But after all that, they’ll forget to apply a background color to their site, and they won’t think to check for it.
To see it in action, set your browser’s default background color to magenta, or something equally piquant. Then visit websites. You may be surprised.
If you find a site with its underwear showing, please share it in the new Underwear showing (web design) group on Flickr.
