funny article (via delicious)
Working with web designers is a nightmare. You will never meet a more opinionated bunch of snobs. They are always going on about 'white space', 'composition' and how they went to art college (like that counts as a proper education!). When it comes to choosing the design of your site, they are the last people you should listen to.
What follows are 10 things you need to know about managing a web design project, that no web designer will ever tell you!

the general passive aggressive tone turned me off I'm afraid, I could basically see the whole angsty, cliché ridden article being laid out in front of me and I only read the first point.

WORKING WITH PRINT DESIGNERS WHO ARE TRYING TO DESIGN A WEBSITE IS EVEN MORE OF A NIGHTMARE.
Any designer, print or web can design print stuff brochures etc - especially if there are artworkers/production managers to take on any technical stages before going to print and the job would pretty likely be a goodun.
Print designers on the other hand, trying to design for web when its not something they'd usually do .... hahaha dont make me laugh.
Theres sooo much more to web than just making things look pretty on a page, including accessibility issues, and just knowing the kinds of things that can and cant be done - both from a technical point of view and from an end user point.- that is the biggest bullshit i have ever heard ha!ESPtype
- print designers are usually better at designing relationships between type.ESPtype
- bullshit! it's all the same.doesnotexist
- no it is def not... type on the web is much different... because not everyone is looking at it from 30 inch monitorsESPtype

Christ, for a while there I thought that was a genuine schpiel.
My bile hasn't risen so highly for ages.
Whole hours, probably.

From the 1st advice:
Before you pick which web designer to work with make sure they submit some designs for your site upfront. Whatever you do, don't pay for this work. If they really want to work with you they will swallow the cost.- hahahaha fuckdoesnotexist
