As a marketer and more front-end, I occasionally spot when a website is done by someone that has been out of the game >5 years. I see this via design style and toolset used. Several clients with 'new' websites I've been preparing to promote, when asked about the dev given quality concerns it has been clear they are returning to development from a significant break. This has happened on a handful of occasions and its always been greater than 5 years out of the game. That said there could have been plenty that have returned after a gap and I dont notice.

- mod 10y agoSpeaking as a web developer, you would never, ever see me design a website for a client. I would be implementing a design done by a designer. Your hallmark would miss me greatly. I rarely use any design-related toolkits you would be able to see from the front end (bootstrap? etc), either.
