Opinions of listing sites with no meta, alt, or title tags?

[Pagan]

I always use meta tags, but not to the extent I should. This thread has been great!! I have used a lot of the reminders on my latest sites.

The alt tags on the gallery images was something I used to day way back when but stopped because I felt it was rather redundant. Am I to describe every picture I link? Perhaps I would feel different if I was working on the website for my high school's art collection. Of course, I would be using every single tag possible to pass the information on about these paintings. But... we are talking porn here.

I know when I first learned HTML by doing, there was little if any emphasis on the title tag. The emphasis was on doing pages with as few characters as possible and still have them legible to all browsers. (I think I still hold a record of 5 linked information packed pages with few graphics in under 250K. They said it couldn't be done, and I had to do it!) Sites built with FrontPage still make me shudder at all of the excess code.

Maybe the code isn't perfect, but if the site looks great with good content, and it is reasonably correct, should that not be enough? How many errors will you accept before you turn your back on someone promising who is at least trying to submit a product that is always improving?
