Ok... Let's play 20 questions: What body part did the name devigner remind me of?  I'm not touching this one!  ne-ner-ne-ner-ne-ner! You accidentally already did! ---------------------------------------- Why is it that our own site overhauls take so darn long? Both complete. Mmmmmm love my .com. Now I love my other one too. But Joe's logo design made it! What are YOUR favorite veggies? |

That is actually a very good question. And if you ask 20 web designers what they think, I'm guessing you will get a variety of answers. I like what you have started with, starting with a foundation to grow on is a good idea. Setting it in stone? Well, we see the difficulty the W3C has had. Anyway, if people like yourself; who setup websites to teach web site related technology, would do exactly like you have mentioned, the basic foundation needed for site design will eventually grab hold. I really like the idea that your going to do this. Actually, I think the following is just things that would fall into your categories. You didn't really include a breakdown. Do you think there should be a mention of some understanding of a programing language. Lets face it, you will not have a dynamic site without it. A "Professional" would have some knowledge whether it be javascript, asp, php or whatever. Sliced images. Well, there is a reason for that. Even in the world of html, xhtml, and css if you peel apart alot of web pages, you will often see many fractions of images that make up the whole. Often times buttons are made to slide larger for those who increase the text size of pages they view. Thats done with multiple images that when viewed create one. Maybe not in strict Photoshop slice kind of thing, but I think it can be described as slicing all the same. Sometimes headers are created in a similar way, one popular method is called "sliding doors". Those are just a couple that come to mind right away. Take a look at the Zen Garden and see how many image parts make up any given web site. The point is to not discard slicing; smaller images are still the best practice when it comes to loading web-pages quickly. Lastly, 'tables'. A true professional will know when and when not to use tables. They are not for designing a home page! Tables are heavy - pass the word. Really, I think your on the right track.  |
