On the flip side, I can't stand building out a XHTML/CSS site from a designer that comes from a print background. No considerations from the design side are made for the web world. None of the front-end developers I work with would make the mistakes listed but these guys and gals think of their work like an art. To faithfully render the designers mockups into a document that can be rendered identically across browsers and platforms in the fastest way is their goal. The points about free fonts and stock photography. Using system standard free fonts is good for several reasons including initial cost. The main reason I favor system standard fonts is being able to render headers and menus in text versus having to load up and image which is wasted bandwidth for most cases. Stock photography purchases are also tough to swallow for a developer but in a proper setting the developer for the site shouldn't worry about the cost of things because he isn't footing the bill! If it is a developers personal project, understand that he is a do-it-yourself kinda person and will want everything for inexpensive or free. Sorry this article got me worked up a bit. I felt I fell into the developer (non-designer) category but I don't know anyone so full of themselves to make many of those mistakes. Can't we all just get along? ;)
