I have experience with designers. My suggestion. Don't code anything client-side until they are finished, you will most likely have to change everything. You can do your functionality (login mechanism, password change, listing, query with db, etc...) and be ready for when they give you their monster. I've worked in many ways like: 1) Programmer does the functionality 2) Designer gives the design 3) Integrator tries to make it work This one fails most of the time, gives headaches when it gets to work. And will most likely go back and forth #1 and #3 a couple of times! I recommend: 1) Designer does his whole job and shows the design when finished and approved 2) Integrator works on making the pages and html without func. 3) Programmer makes the whole thing work. This gives the best feeling to all people involved. All IMO! Simon On 7/23/07, Steve Finkelstein <sf@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi all, This is more of a conceptual based inquiry. I'm currently working on some projects which require me to build system 'X' prior to any (X)HTML/CSS/graphics are available to me. A lot of the time, I just garble up default tables/forms/images to replace what the designer will be ultimately adjusting. It's certainly a lot simpler to have someone come to you with the CSS/HTML and then building on top of that. I was curious how do you folks who strictly do development and not designing, strategically work with a designer in this fashion? Do you have a skeleton you follow or preload some existing templates and then code around that? If there's even a book which focuses on such concepts, I'd be more than happy to purchase and read it. Thank you kindly for any insight. - sf -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
