Signs of a Lazy Web Designer

May 16th, 2008

I have been looking over some past work or revisiting it for whatever reason and in each piece the laziness is just oozing out. Here is my list of lazy web guy characteristics:

  1. You see something and remember making a note to fix it later.
  2. You make another note.
  3. You don’t reset CSS - ‘meh I’ll deal with it if (when) it becomes a problem.
  4. You say yes to a client so you don’t have to explain ‘are you kidding? not for this price!’ and email them later to say it’s out of budget.
  5. The design requires PNGs. ‘Time for lunch!’
  6. Doesn’t work in IE. Time for Lunch, Time for a snack, times for a snack, time for a snack, time for dinner, time for a snack.’
  7. The client asks about a blog. You respond ‘Wordpress.com.’
  8. Obviously the code doesn’t validate, and you REALLY couldn’t care less. Frick, the client doesn’t even know what that means.
  9. You don’t update whatever OpenSource code you are using. ‘Who would notice but me anyway?’
  10. You have tedious updates and changes to make and you write a blog post instead.

Any others?

  • Just another Blog and narcissistic self esteem builder. If you think I have anything to say take a second and let me know - Post a comment - and you too can shamelessly promote yourself just as I do here. Have Fun!
