very good jermayn!! most people don't place any value in a job done correctly (payers and payees alike). how much does it cost and can you do it on time?
i would say that most to all of the members of this organization (wsg) are dedicated to the proposition that all web sites are not created equal and somehow sites they create are "better built" than the average site. professionalism, defined by most governments and organizations, means you earn more than 50% of your income through the endeavor. bunk! most designers don't give a rat's ass what we talk about and try to accomplish with the work we do. most designers don't give a rat's ass to educating themselves with the requirements (professional and governmental) of this profession. duh, i got dreamweaver and i can drag and drop, i'm a web designer. oh, i hate it when i make a statement like that, it hurts so much, but the truth sometimes hurts. i have looked at some web sites of local businesses where i live and the designer used frames. i talked with a potential client about this problem and how there web visibility would be greatly enhanced by removing their site from frames. well, the local computer tech and a girl in the office "are working together on the project in their spare time". there is html for frames and a table on the page. there's no doctype so the html doesn't validate; a certificate wouldn't help here. i digressed. certification is only as good as the dedication is to what you do. education can improve one's dedication, but when you have to make the buck, dinar, ruble or what ever, you better have an indemnity clause in your contract so you can keep whatever monies you are paid if the corner-cutting client gets sued. dwain On 1/24/07, Jermayn Parker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
So would making web designers get a "certificate" of some kind fix this problem??
