[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1776488, member: 2989"] Rofl, someone seems a little butthurt. First of all, I asked him to PM me, in case he wasn't comfortable making public the web design firm that is doing a bad job with the website or the name / url of his parent's website / business. As a person who knows these other agencies and professionals through these professional organizations, I could personally go to "said" web agency if I knew them just to ping them to see what's up. If I didn't know them or if they really just suck, I could make recommendations to independent designers I know who could possibly help him out for free. Yes, that's right. Free. You obviously have no idea about web development, web design or even user experience design. You probably think web design is just a couple of single html pages with default photoshop filters thrown on some graphics. Just because some bubba decides to learn a little HTML and filters in Photoshop, doesn't make that person a "web designer." I guess any bubba who picks up a hacksaw and a dremel tool is now a gunsmith and therefore, all gunsmiths are a sham and only industrial designers and machinists are real gunsmiths..... /facepalm. Besides, no one in the industry even uses a catch all "web designer" as a role or title. Designers can be broken down in multiple disciplines, some being visual and other others being purely in code and programming. You're mistaking graphic arts with design and that is a common problem. When it comes to enterprise level applications, most of the work is in designing an engineering solution and building a platform to support it. Last I checked, languages like Ruby is a real programming language not limited to websites, but full enterprise level apps and utilities. Lack of education? I have an associates degree in instructional design, a bachelors in multimedia design, a 2nd bachelors degree in mass communications and marketing, and a year into a masters in visual communications. My company has designed interactive remote controllers for Logitech, a tablet interface in conjunction with Motorola for the NFL that will go live next season that allows coaches to review the footage shot just seconds ago to the players, while the coaches draw and mark on touch screens and everything is transmitted live each device. We've designed user experiences and UI's with SAP, Pepsi, the Stock Exchange, and I'm currently engaged with a project to overhaul and push Expedia.com into E3.
