leslie Thought: Webdesign is dead
July 21st, 2006
After having several conversations with friends on this topic, the general consensus is that the fast-paced technology world tends to kill things before they even get started. In an industry of buzz words and acronyms that mean nothing and lose all meaning in a month, there is no longer a middle ground between graphics and programming.

While I tend to agree, I think the real killer of legitimate, skilled web-design will ultimately be MySpace.

Agreed, although I wouldn’t say webdesign is dead, rather static content is dead. Web design still requires a view to be designed using markup however that alone is not sufficient for creating a website these days. Today’s web pages are written much like full featured applications. To do this they follow the same gui paradigms, using the model-view-controller pattern or something similar. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller)
Maybe there is still room for someone who is only interest in the “view” aspect of web design but the tools we have now almost make it impossible to do so without knowledge of how the other pieces of the web app fit together.
