I think the issue is that HTML and CSS are awful braindead work that are a career killer.
If you hire developers who know HTML and CSS please rotate in some more interesting work for them.
Also be careful not to elevate the design team above people doing the HTML / CSS. Too often the design people go back and forth with a higher up until an "approved final design" that makes no sense gets thrown in the laps of the devs.
- windows2020 2y agoWriting consistent, concise and elegant HTML and CSS takes practice. Mastery of a language and discovery of its patterns requires thought.
- wmil 2y agoI'm not seeing how that relates to my comment.
- arp242 2y agoI think the point that was being made is "if you hire HTML/CSS people, then don't make them monkeys that are only allowed to blindly follow instructions, but involve them in the process and treat them as professionals". Or at least, that's how I read it anyway. So basically, I think you agree with the previous poster?
- arp242 2y agoIn general I think the "design team" should be the "HTML and CSS" people. Today, by "design" people often mean "graphical design", which tends to attract more art-type people. But what is really needed is "UI design", which is a much broader discipline which involves art, technical stuff, and psychology. You need to think about "what looks good?", but also "what makes a good UI for our product", and "what can we reasonably implement without too much complexity?" Certainly in my experience this confusion between "graphical design" and "UI design" seems to be a huge chunk of the problem.
