Morning! Quick poll. When working on HTML/CSS, do you have dedicated designers that don’t touch code, or is the design shipped as code? I’m curious about how other people approach this problem. I feel like designers not touching code is a good fit for some problems, and a bad fit for other problems. Are you happy with your team’s current process? • 1️⃣ designers communicate with developers, developers write HTML/CSS • 2️⃣ the same person designs the thing and writes the HTML/CSS Got some other arrangement? Let me know in:thread: and I’ll add a number.
I'd love for our designers to have a bit more insight into html/css, but on the other hand, they have plenty on their plate already. They design a more pleasing ui and handle more ux-oriented talks with stakeholders than our devs would.
We are all cross-functional in my current team, with some having more or less skill in each area. Specialization is for insects.
Insect here 😄 I’ve always implemented designs handed over by designers. Over time the artefacts have improved (no more psd files) and communication has improved. That may just be the benefit of experience. I have been fearful of being replaced by automation / more rounded designers/devs for a while so have branched out into server side stuff. I haven’t seen a fall in demand for the UI work though and that’s what I enjoy / am most comfortable with.
I enjoy figuring out sensible UX decisions, but people don't always agree with me, so perhaps my perspective is too dev-centric. And I certainly don't know how to come up with something pretty.
Good morning! It's a lovely autumn stormy evening here in Northern Denmark.
