  Monospaced,

  Here you are talking about lazy developers but can't that same logic be applied to the designer who refuses to use the right tool for the job simply because they're 'more comfortable' using something else? That's pretty hypocritical.

  Sure, you can use a website 'designed' with Indesign as reference material for a website but outside of text how do you expect a developer to be able to translate imagery/graphics from indesign into an appropriate web format? Images and graphic that cannot be achieved with code must be optimized for the web - meaning it must go through a process that compresses or compromises image quality. You cannot simply 'copy+paste' images and graphics into code.

  • Don't web designers know how to save images for the web? They have it easy, it doesn't work in the other direction.i_monk
  • No shit. They copy and paste into Photoshop and optimize that shit because they aren't designers! They're code jockeys.monospaced
