So You Think You Are a Web Designer?
A real web designer can code by hand...using nothing but Notepad!
People are getting ripped off by designers who claim they are creating custom websites or custom WordPress themes, and they are not. They are using Artisteer, and some of them are trying to cleverly disguise that fact. But not everyone is a fool. Some of us know what to look for!
You might think, what's wrong with Artisteer? It's a really good time and money saver. Yeah...sure...so was MS FrontPage - complete with ugly bloated code that slows your web pages down. And nothing spells unprofessional like a site designed with FrontPage...sorry...but it's true.
So now we have the modern day FrontPage: Artisteer...
and the designs and themes that it generates seem pretty nice, until you look "under the hood".
here's typical code you can find in an Artisteer generated theme, for example:
<div class="BlockContent"> <div class="BlockContent-tl"></div> <div class="BlockContent-tr"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-bl"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-br"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-tc"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-bc"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-cl"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-cr"><div></div></div> <div class="BlockContent-cc"></div>
yep...bloated code! and that's just some code on one of the theme's php files. There's a lot more of that crap code on every single theme file...
So why this rant? I want people hiring web designers and paying for custom work, to know what they are getting. Don't get ripped off. If a designer is going to use Artisteer..you may as well buy the program yourself, and generate your own sites, that is if you don't really care about quality...
