I wouldn't hire a designer who's application does not degrade gracefully - had to allow JS just to see her resume.

- rco8786 11y agoGood thing she's not a designer then
- anonx 11y agoShe's designing social media strategies. Do they have to degrade gracefully, too?
- douche 11y agoSocial media strategies are pretty degraded to begin with...
- true_religion 11y agoAh although it's typical for designers to do this sort of thing, marketers also do it. She's a marketer. This is the equivalent of nice PDF, which is the output of most marketing departments to their higher ups.
- logfromblammo 11y agoAgreed. I viewed the source of the page and immediately saw one of my pet peeves--a blank document body that is dynamically replaced via script. As I typically browse unfamiliar sites with scripts disabled, loading a blank page is instant failure for the site. You build a barebones static page first, and then you add bells and whistles. But then, after enabling script, what do I see? Images filled with mostly text. Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh... I bet they weren't even crushed. Luckily for her, no business in its right mind would ask someone like me to evaluate any new marketing hires. Engineer-types and marketer-types in the same company are like mortal enemies, forced by circumstance to work together toward a common goal.
