I find it hard to imagine that any experienced Web producer these days wouldn’t have some “sensible defaults,” or templates, to work from in Illustrator, Photoshop, or – more precisely – for developing HTML and CSS.
Then he must have a weak imagination.
- Semiapies 18y agoThe mistake of conflating "experienced" with "clueful". :) There's nothing like going to visit your client and realizing that their longtime programmer built the application that processes the billing info you're sending them in I-shit-you-not GW-BASIC...
- erlanger 18y agoActually, I meant that you can do very good work without defaults, as most designs require very different layout approaches. It takes far less time to build a layout from scratch than to override existing code. I notice that, for most developers, this results in a torrent of "!important"s.
- Semiapies 18y agoYou can, but you can do it more quickly with defaults if you're not doing a number of very different layouts. Not all web producers are trained designers.
- erlanger 18y agoI've always found pre-written CSS to get in my way, but then again, CSS is practically my first language (with clean, semantic HTML).
