When there is a lack of graphical art, plain text will save you! Part I.
A big mis-understanding in developing or designing websites is that web-designers and or developers think websites are only a success once they contain great graphical “voodoo”.
Of course this isn’t true. For instance, look at the main WordPress website, can you see any graphical elements other than the logo,.,mm,.not really! So what’s the power that makes this website so great? Let me enlighten you a bit, it’s the well chosen (web)font and the positioning of the text.
A well chosen web-font in combination with a well chosen text placement can make all the difference. I will try to make a good looking website using only html & css based techniques without any Photoshop build images. Give me a few weeks and I will try to stun you.

Re-reading my post makes me mention that nearly no graphics are used to build the WordPress website. Images that are diplayes are part of the content and not of the design structure. Nevertheless, my text only test will not behold any images.
