You're right...design needs to be as good as the code or it doesn't get past first base with most clients...and there's no reason it should.
I'm strong on design, less strong of CF coding, but I get done what I need to. I mostly work on sites that require adding, updating, and deleting content...text, photos, etc. Some of the more complex work has been design business "webware" to run businesses processes where they wanted a custom application to take the place of many pieces of traditional software that were getting a little unwieldy. So a tool has got to function with CF without hindering my design work. I can always smell a FrontPage site in about 2 seconds after the browser opens. It's not that it was such a terrible tool...but it was free and many people who used it generally had no talent for any part of web design and development...and it gave FrontPage a very bad name. I tried it when I first started and that's when you had to use it like a word processor...yuck...

The other is about a week long project.... Filthy.. yes, rich.. lol 3 clients a yr?, hell gotta do that a week. I can live a good lifestyle cause I dont sit around wasting my time on making projects that i'll spend a year on and never finish. Im like u Rick, mostly a one man band, call in help when i need it but the reality is that if you want people to use u and you dont have awhole team to work with then you gotta have a a few skills and the one most ppl need to improve on is design because if the site looks like it was made in frontpage (no matter how good the cfm code is) you wont get much business. So why waste time making something you cant use cause u dont have any clients. ~Dave - formerly known as "the disruptor"~ ---------------------------------------- From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 10:15 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Can't open CF7 Administrator I guess that's the genius of it...he only has two take care of two clients and he's "agonizingly busy" and probably getting filthy rich while the rest of us CF coders have to take at least 3 clients every two years to maintain a level of lifestyle such as Dave enjoys...
