    All right, all right. Settle down all you hip print designers with sand in your vagina. Let's get this straight.

    Designing and developing websites is more like designing and developing a car. It's all about the functionality and requirement set by technology. Pixel perfection is important for CSS-implementation, and to allow the site to be flexible for the content. And content is KING. The content dictates how the site should be designed and structured.

    This means that the person who is designing a website, MUST have a pretty good understanding for the technological aspect of the development process. Most print designers does not.

    A lot of designers also view javascript as a design-tool for making special effects and fancy crap. It's not. It's all about making the site more flexible and functional.

    That said, I am pro fancy all-flash websites, but only where this needed: microsites or campaignsites etc. These sites functionality is more like a poster where the point is to entertain and capture the user.
