    They keep making applications so that "non-designers" can build "attractive websites" without knowing "code." Dreamweaver, GoLive, WordPress, and a hundred others.

    But the fact is, the hurdle to making an attractive website, is not really in knowing code, or in knowing the technical nuts-and-bolts of putting a site together. The hurdle is having some visual sensitivity and taste so that what you do make actually looks good.

    It's like drawing: it's easy as pie to take care of the technical aspect. One gets a pencil, and makes some lines on paper. Every child can do it. But to do it well takes a lot of practice, thought, and application.

    Same with playing piano: you just press the fucking buttons! What could be simpler? Well, hardly anyone applies themself enough to piano to learn a simple tune, let alone play something someone else would want to hear.

    So again, it's trying to apply a technical solution when the problem is not, really, technical.
