As quoted by Brian reed, "Everything is designed. Few things are designed well."
I am a firm believer of this, having a good design skill is really important and impressive. 💯❤
You see everything with a different lens when you do have that right designing sense.
😎🤟
And yes nice article 💯
Thanks 🙏
In the—virtually non-existent—case where you implement perfect mockups, with a flawless design system, you could do without it.
For anything else, yes you need some design notions. Even with a designer, you will need to design a few unattended corners, you will have to interpret some behavior etc. And of course, it can be your core skill to both design and implement! Simple effecient designs, implemented right away can be crazy efficient.
Couldn’t agree more!!
As a CEO of oursource web development company I would say that even small startups always try to hire a dedicated designer at least for initial product look. If you can feel that initial style (spacing, buttons sizes, areangemnet logic), to add new element in future when designer finished his work and left a project then it would be enough.
Yes, for sure! Especially for freelancers like myself, I believe all developers should have a sense of design, even if they weren't formally trained. Design is one of those things that is useful both in and out of the workplace. Not to mention that if the developer(s) of a team understand design, the communication gap between designers and programmers of a team, increasing productivity.
Yep. Interface design is about consistency. And front-end developers are the ones implementing that consistency. It's vital to at least get the basics of grid, typography, contrast, colors, etc.
Most definitely, it empowers you to do the whole front-end part of the project on your own.
Personally, I think it is good, for a frontend developer to have a good design sense. However, it isn't compulsory. It just helps your development skill.
It's greatly advised though
Yes.
