Dont worry about it. I doubt web companies are going to lose ANY work from clients because of any of this.

Re: [WSG] will Eric Meyer�s C SS SCULPTOR put me out of job?
If your job is making plain looking, cookie cutter templates, then yes, tools like these will put you out of a job. I see CSS as a box of watercolors; you can do really simple things with it, and you can do really complex things too. I doubt there will ever be software that can replicate the kinds of complex things I do with CSS, and that's why I'm not afraid of being replaced. And by the way, Blueprint is not a Google project, it's a project by Olav Bjorkoy that just so happens to be hosted on Google Code. And it's a CSS framework, which means that it can make your job easier (and help you make more money). It won't replace anything. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net .. designtocss.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

My opinion is that are tools to help speed up things that take a lot of time by hand. Like using Dreamweaver instead of Notepad to write web pages. The faster we can get our work done, the more competitive our prices can be, the more work we can take in. I'm all over it!! On 8/27/07, Tee G.

Sry all, a little out of topic title. To Paul: i have visited your mintleafstudio and see there'r some probs, i view within both FireFox 2.0 and IE 6.0 in Window but your content column dropped down (Resolution: 1024x768). I think it needs a little width there. Cheers, Spirit.

We've used the Yahoo UI library to do that for a while; simple to be competitive on pricing. I know the bigger studios spend a lot of time developing pixel-perfect designs, usually on an elastic layout. We don't often attract the projects and budgets that would justify that level of quality. There has been a couple of years where quite basic page layouts have needed a lot of hours from experienced CSS developers to produce - I reckon those years are over and advanced CSS skills won't be used as often in smaller production teams. There will continue to be a place for highly skilled and experienced front-end developers in the bigger studios. This is a shift in the economics of website production; so yeah, have another think about career path. Remember, these days any designer can create a complex PDF file that can printed straight away - no need for the old technical skills to do colour separations and prepare printing plates! Complex and repetitive work will always be under pressure from engineering solutions. Fashionable design will always be under pressure from younger and cooler designers. I'm gonna get shares in Adobe and RMIT!
