I just finished this site for a Solicitor’s firm. It uses Valid XHTML (strict) and CSS.
I have integrated Google Maps, An AJAX contact form and Flash all with ease. "
All thanks to Modx"
There are two stylesheets, one for screen, one for print and degrades gracefully on older browsers. I use snippets and chunks throughout. It might be overkill I know for such a small site, but I just wanted to see how much I could automate with MODx, and how much I could integrate other techniques.
I use MIR image replacement and UFO Flash embedding to get around the validation issues.

For Safari user’s, they get a nice CSS drop shadow in the menu text and in the right hand side blue box ala "text-shadow" selector
For the print stylesheet, to make sure the logo and the background images that are dynamically placed via MIR actually Print, I used this technique:
No actual name to the technique, but here is the link:

As you may know, when dynamically setting a bg image in CSS, it wont print on your printer, and most Image replacement techqniques utilise the ’background-image’ selector. This "hack" gets around the issue, mind you, you need to play about with your ID’s and stuff to make sure it all works, but well worth it in the end.
Feedback on the site is appreciated
