  • SPThom, on 06/12/2009, -0/+3Good article... I might be biased, but I couldn't agree more. In my experience, non-coding designers tend to create sites that are great for marketing or presentation, but difficult for usability. Coder-programmers take a more minimalist approach, which strikes up a good chord between elegance and usability.
