40K Professional Designers Are Disturbing The Web Design Industry. Here’s How They’re Doing It (sponsored)
The traditional way of creating a unique website involved two steps:
First, the client would hire a designer and ask them to design the website in some software, typically Photoshop. The designer designed that graphics as per the instructions of the client. The advantage of using Photoshop and working with an image is that if anything goes wrong, it can easily be fixed.
Second, the client would then need to hire a developer who would convert the image into a living and breathing website. The developer would write the code, make any final changes necessary, set the links live, buttons, hover effect, etc.
Developers take a big bite out of the pie as they are usually paid higher than most designers. Plus this can be a long and tedious task and generally consumes most of the profit.
is shaking up this old model of design and develop by putting the designer front row center.
