I need designers to be familiar with: business and revenue models project and product management SEO action script scalable front end development back end development database structures site metrics market research usability studies
By familiar... I mean they have enough knowledge to work along side, have indepth conversations and understand at a fairly deep level what these folks are doing. In a pinch, they may need to lean over and help. I don't need them to be experts in these area because I have folks that do this 50 and 60 hours a week... and do it very very well. Why would I have a designer do this instead? It makes no sense. Maybe that is the difference between working at a larger company with the resources and expertise and a small design shop. I realize with smaller staff you need folks to wear multiple hats.
