"oh and don't get me started on whining about having to work in someone else's code"
Spoken like a true hack-it-about designer.
A poorly structure PSD doesn't stop photoshop working.
Poorly structured code, does.

"Spoken like a true lazy cunt."
Not really. I heartily expect that the only reason you're making a developer bend someone elses code is because the last one walked off the job because of your lack of understanding.
Anyway - as a developer, I pick what I work on. And I don't take on sloppy seconds. I don't have to. So why would I?

Don't forget that custom fonts and image slicing takes more development time and costs more money. That stuff needs to be scoped out ahead of time.

basically everyone working on a computer is a bit lazy

Spoken like a true lazy cunt.
He had a set of fucking hand over notes, and did the project in 5 minutes when he stopped being a whiney bitch. And I've done lots of development myself and worked with other peoples flash files so I know exactly what its like. As I said in an earlier post, not all developers are bad and a good one would have never given drama over that job but lazy ones are the majority."If you want your graphics cut up all pixel perfect etc then do it yourself.
a designer SHOULD be doing that sort of stuff anyway."
Thats moronic, the cutting up of graphics has a huge impact on how something is coded.- Im by no means a lazy developer but i gripe like a mother fucker when it isnt done how i like it... the right way!Stugoo

I am continually asking mine to follow the design boards I provide. it's a pain-filled process.

"its just easier to use the drop down from the previous site"
I'd like to see them in turn use that argument w/a repair paint job to their car...
"we used the paint color from the last job we did... it was just easier"
- I deal with that logic all day man. all day.sofakingbanned

for all I know there is a 'front end developer' in use...
... I however have no control nor am in touch - I'm trapped outside w/nothing but a middleman making promises and continuously asking for 'help'.
As for your three-step deal... hell yeah, I'll sign on to that setup... unfortunately that's not the deal here... but does sound ideal...
... alas - I think we're going w/Arial regardless...
... and I've just been told that this person won't be used again in the future as they sold themselves as competent and able to cut html to the easier-than-shit specs laid out before them.
must_dash... what do you hand off when providing direction / assets for sites?... psd's is all I've ever know outside of the occasional fireworks or illustrator file (either is fine by me as long as you label your layers and provide all assets such as fonts... just like I've done this time and every time I'm hired to produce/design)...

"Otherwise you are just making the job of the developers hard."
BOO--FUCKING--HOO... what... are the developers Kings and Queens amongst the peasant designers who just did 6 iterations and then was forced to do 3 more iterations on the version that the client 'loved' last night but now wants to change again and again?
Welcome to the world... lol @ 'hard'...
... do the job you committed to or get lost... I have no clue why some of you are backing the 'woes' of some of this mightier-than-though developers who are just here to connect shit up to the 'DB'... congrats - you're a dime a dozen like the rest of...
... only thing is... we won't be using 'you' next time because you commit to shit you fail to complete. ;)

I'm between a middleman (aka 'the agency') and the developer... I was brought in at the last minute because what they designed was painful for the client... ...so I redesigned / adjusted their content and gave the client a piece they're in love with.
What I'm talking about for the fonts are all navigation related. Very simple rollover graphics that can have alt data attached to them ('home' 'about us' etc)... and also buttons like 'learn more' that are all simple text graphics - but designed to... ohhhhhhh fuck it... I don't owe any of you cocks an explanation...
... do your fucking job right, lazy fucks.
