# 11 is an awful reason to fire your webdesigner. spam usually has to do with client NOT the designer. you can add all the captcha and filters you could ever think of and if the client is a dummy you will get spam REGARDLESS. most breaches don’t have to do with designer either. sure you can code some shotty stuff and have it breached, but what about htaccess files if your on a shared server or even php.ini. these are all things usually controlled by server and sometimes are changed at random. what this one should say if they don’t do regular backups and allow for a backup tool. as long as programing exists there will be loopholes. backing up is the safest and most viable alternative and can be set via a cron job to external server.

I do agree with most of your other points though.

There’s a lot of lists on the internet, and a lot of them make no sense whatsoever.

There’s perhaps two valid points on this entire page, so you either just made the rest up or you were met with a “webdesigner” that does it from the house of his parents. And even in the last case, I know a hell of a lot that wouldn’t be that bad.

I heard of a company called “PowerGen” that was dividing up their site into various european portals. All was fine until they got to “Italy”. Something about powergenitalia.com that didn’t go over well. Not sure what the problem was, though.

PHP is still great for those guys on a budget who still need to get some sort of interactivity on their websites. Since some clients have their JavaScript turned off, PHP will guarantee that they see something.

There are not a few web designers who are grand architects and have to shuffle everything from database design to server maintenance to website branding.

Also, when it comes to appearances, people’s perception of you is real to them. If you’ve got a personal site out there and you look like a maverick, that’s how your client will ultimately perceive you. That can make or break a potential deal.

I’m not sure how you interpret “web designer”, it seems like a “web designer” is a graphical designer for you, i’m sure he may be a guru to select fonts but, why would you register domains to his name, or expect to restore databases, even to entitle him as your “webmaster” when toke a class called “color history” in college, instead of hiring a developer, a web developer for this tasks?
