Nah yeah Photoshop .PSD's were totally normal for website designs. I got extremely proficient at building functioning websites based on PSD files, going back as far as the days of using nested <table> structures with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images :) I built hundreds of websites from .PSD files, and Fireworks was pretty much non-existent in my experience.
- sillysaurusx 6mo agoThose days aren’t over. HN uses nested tables with 1x1 transparent spacer.gif images. I like that HN’s design is timeless. It’s a shame people usually ignore it, or are critical of it.
- gf000 6mo agoThe text is barely legible, and you can hardly ever click on the actual target you want (e.g. upvote vs downvote). It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with, it is just actively malicious now for anyone using it from a touch interface.
- thunky 6mo ago> It's timeless in that it was never good to begin with True but it shows that good design doesn't matter. Also: Craigslist, Reddit, LinkedIn...the list goes on.
- tomduncalf 6mo agoYeah +1, at the start of my career (mid 2000s) all the web designs were done in Photoshop. I think this was true until 2010/11 at least, when I first encountered Axure being used for some design stuff. I’ve never used Fireworks and never saw it in the wild (UK, in case it was a regional thing)
