Are They That Annoying on Purpose?

By , About.com Guide   March 4, 2010

Follow me on:

You're working on getting a new script finished to replace the one that is breaking in IE 8, when the designer comes asking you to move the navigation bar back from where he had you move it yesterday. Or you've finished your user testing and realized that the change you made to the navigation bar design is affecting the content lower down, but when you ask the developer to move it, she says "no" and goes back to fiddling with her code, ignoring you.

Whichever person you identify with more, both situations can be really annoying. But while Web developers can seem negative and Web designers wishy-washy, you still have to work with them. Find out what Web designers hate about developers and Web developers hate about designers, and share your own pet peeves about both.

communication between designers and developpers is indeed pretty vague sometimes. Lately I modded a drupal module in PHP, only to find out later that the designer changed her mind…

That’s why you need a Project Manager to manage the process. Left to their own vices, Web designers, developers and clients will quibble with each other. It is the PMs job to sort things out.

The communication between designer and developer is very necessary. This is the reason their is always a group with group members and project manager is also their for the same.
