It ran creakingly slow on my 1 Ghz Athlon in IE6.0, and it was sprayed gruesomely over a 2560-pixel-wide desktop due to that foolish unresizeable window, but at least it became clear why it's got that source encoding -- it's a commercial product. You want to be able to sell the right to use your design for other things, and you assume that people won't buy it if they can just steal it. There are two problems with this. The first problem is that if one site copies another, particularly if the design in question is distinctive and elaborate, they get publicly ridiculed (and legal action is certainly within reason). The second problem is that if one site buys the right to look exactly like another, people will assume that the site ripped the first one off, whether it's on the up-and-up or not. You would appear to have some real dHTML talent. Even though digitalchalice.com is misguided in many ways -- at least in my perception -- it's still an impressive piece of work. Why not take the encryption off this design and use it as a showpiece to sell your unique design abilities -- not existing designs -- to future clients? (edit: I'm not personally interested in the source code. I dislike the encryption on a philosophical level. Look at Doc Ozone, a world-class master of dHTML -- he considers his code a potential learning tool for others; and most professional designers I know feel the same way.) I've honestly never really heard of someone selling a web page he's already created. I've only heard of people selling web pages they're [i]going[/i] to create -- i.e. selling their ability, not a product. I suspect that there's a reason for that.
