When I started my first dev job in 2006 (I’d been developing websites for fun since the late 90s), Dreamweaver Templates were still very much a thing. Later our designer would pass us a design built in Dreamweaver Templates and tables, and we’d spend a couple hours converting it into divs, floats and PHP. Later still, we cut the middle man. The designer would hand us the Fireworks file he’d used to design the site, and we’d break the template into individual images and backgrounds. What a world. I frankly kind of miss the highly textured, skeuomorphic sites. They could be a fun challenge to figure out the best way to slice and build, unlike these solid color beasts today that for some reason require css frameworks to pull off (har har).
