Graphic And Web Design Websites
What would be an effective work system between a graphic designer and a web developer?
I’m looking for an effective process in developing websites with two main people: the graphic designer who designs the aesthetics and the web developer who puts it all together. How could the two develop a system to communicate and submit work in a timely, efficient manner? Any tips?
In theory, the designer would comp the look-and-feel in Photoshop, slice and optimize the images and then hand it off to the developer who builds it.
In practice, if your graphic designer is not a web designer, you could end up with a bloated mess.
I’m assuming you are talking about a very small site. A medium to large site might actually take 3 or more. A UI Designer to design the functionality and content positioning resulting in a wireframe model. Then the web designer would design look and feel and all the graphic elements–maybe even build page templates in html and css. Then the web developer would build out all the different page views using the templates, would code all the functionality and even use a database-driven platform.
So for a small site (less than 100 pages), I’d only hire a web designer, not a graphic designer, preferably one who can also build the front-end, or at least page templates which the web developer can build out over as many pages as you need, as well as coding all the interactive functionality.
