Hey, let's be fair here. I'm a great programmer, but I can't design worth beans. They're totally different skills.
- LoSboccacc 9y agoBut I bet you can render data out using html snd given a design you can get that html reasonably close with just some sweat and little stackoverflow trips.
- Blackthorn 9y agoI'm not a code monkey, and neither is a designer. "Given a design" is the begging the question part. Who's design? Probably someone who only knows HTML and CSS.
- AstralStorm 9y agoOr probably Adobe or Corel suites (or open source equivalents) and the limitations of website design. Not even the languages themselves. You still need someone to translate it into a website. Whether they can handle JS is secondary.
- rorykoehler 9y agoWhat a colossal waste of time and money. Programmers are expensive and shouldn't waste their time pushing pixels when someone half the price can do it in half the time.
- omegote 9y agoWhat does designing have to do with writing HTML and CSS? I know a lot of guys who know HTML and CSS from head to toe yet they couldn't find for the life of them two matching colors to build a design.
