This is a rather old video. But I just found it and I watched it, kinda flabbergasted.
Is this how it looks to the uninitiated? Is web design ever such a flowing and harmonious procedure? Will it ever be like that?
Can we really produce websites just like that?
I know I can’t.
This video made me sad in so many ways, and it’s not the Amélie music either.
I'm a pixel evocator with a temper. I love being productive. I recently declared war on creativity.
So far, I lose.
For this ranting, I’m gonna use Petros’s profile, because he’s a cool guy and I know that he started working on github some months ago. He also went on a trip to San Fransisco! How cool is that? I wanna see photos of that trip. How difficult can it be?

As I sat down on my desk to start typing the obligatory enthusiastic blog post about New Adventures in Web Design, one thing dawned to me: I really don’t know what to say.
I have a love/hate relationship with web design. It’s what I like to do. When I first coded a website, looked at it and thought “hey, that’s nice”, I decided that’s what I wanted to do for a living.
This month, I officially celebrate my first 6 months as a freelancer. Surprisingly enough, one of the reasons I quit my day job and went the self-employed route was because I wanted to work less, not more.

What?! it takes you more than two minutes to make a website from visuals to browser? girl you’re so slow! I nowadays do it under 1.30′
On a more serious note though web design IS really that harmonious. Once you hit your zone that is, where everything comes effortlessly because it just makes sense.

I love the music of Amelie.

Be frank, do you often find your zone these days? I seem to have lost it

It’s a promotional video engineered to make you feel that way: streamlined and edited and smooth around the edges. I dare them to show some real-life IE6 testing
Creating beautiful things is always a messy (I’m drafting proposals & estimates today. Hmmmm, seems they forgot to put that in the video too…) but engaging process, be it websites or anything else for that matter.

That’s what clients see and then they consider us slow!!! One of my clients once, told me that developing a site is as easy as installing a program… Next -> Next -> and we’ve got a new site up and running!!!
