You know what? Designers and programmers need to get over their (our) smugness. This type of "oh god we're so smart and oh god you are sooo dumb" thing helps nobody. Out of curiosity, how do I hire a designer? How much does it cost? Where do I go? Who do I ask? Is there any question as to the source of ignorance when clients are coming to designers to do work? I don't think I've ever seen a post with something like "so you're a lonely python hacker holed up in the back of a coffee shop staring into a shell...your website has functionality but looks like it was designed by the openbsd foundation? You want to hire a designer to make it look as good on the outside as it does on the inside? HERE IS HOW!" Why have I seen so many posts talking about how completely ignorant and stupid the general population is, but not a single one trying to help them overcome this ignorance? Sincerely, Somebody who has absolutely no idea how to hire a designer even if he had the money to do so.
