Why Can’t we coders speak English?…………

When designing a website, it generally falls into two halves:

1. The design: this is where the graphic designer comes up with a fancy piece of artwork – the ‘concept’ for the website.
2. The coding: this is the next bit, after the client has approved the visuals or concept, the coders take over and do all the clever programming that makes the site a real working ‘thing’

I’m a designer, my point is…why is it that after I’ve come up with a great looking design approved by the client that the coders will come up with a long list of technical reasons why the design will be very difficult to code as a website.  Coders seem to have this assumed intellectual superiority, those clever little bods are so hyper intelligent that their massive brains talk in a mathmatical type language.  If anyone cannot understand this quick fire bombardment of complexities then they are of course stupid and not worth communicating with.

Generally, these strange super-brained creatures are best kept well away from clients.  They have a habit of upsetting clients as they don’t release that they can be a trifle demeaning!.

I’m just a humble designer > so no doubt all you coders out there will shoot me down in flames.  We’ve got a fair few projects on the boil at the moment > so should update the portfolio soon> www.jcpeters.co.uk
