In an effort to increase awareness of the importance of good Interaction and Interface Design in Web Development… I suggested that today be... Hug Your Designer Day.
Designers Versus Developers
Are you seeing a lot of this in your Design and Development teams?
Allison Beckwith, Experience Director and Graeme Nelson, Lead Architect
Happy Designers and Happy Developers
Well, maybe it’s time that your developers gave your designers a hug…
Alain Bloch, Web Developer and Chris Griffin, User Interface Designer
Also… to celebrate Hug Your Designer Day, Amy Hoy was kind enough to post her slides and some audio that I recorded of her talk at RailsConf 07.
Let’s all take a moment to thank the designers who put the experience of the users first. The success of our projects rely on everyone working together. Hug Your Designer! (they might hug back…)

Your point about designers need to work only with CSS is very questionable at the current state of browser support for CSS (IE6 still has a majority of users). One must be a pretty skillful designer (really hard to find such people) to express all presentation details only through CSS. So it makes a life much easier if you can control HTML output. And about Now just try to do that in some other Web framework! :-): Well, tapestry 5 uses this approach in Grid component (but you can override HTML output there!). Tapestry 4 too, though it’s a bit more complicated there.
