If you use an off-the-shelf template and your website looks like thousands of other sites on the Internet, you’ll miss an opportunity to create a unique impression. Also consider how people with slower internet connections will view your site. Tip: You can implement modern design trends to make your site look current.
Consider that your visitors might be visiting from laptops and mobile phones, so try to avoid designing pages for a large monitor size or pages that use more complex features such as flash animation or navigation (flash isn’t supported on the iPhone, for example).

When computers first gained graphical user interfaces, softwareengineers helped people make the transition from physical offices to digital files with the metaphor of a desktop. As a person working for a company whose 1/2 income comes from selling flash banners on our site, responsive would be such a pain that you can’t imagine.

We didnt put strict specifications on what "technical" means, but the general idea was people who may qualify as a technical cofounder of an internet/tech startup and in particular, those who have been pitched ideas before. I am the technical cofounder of WebMechanix, a Baltimore-based Search Engine Optimization company. Mar 11, 2011.
You’re now tied to legacy code and design decisions, and you soon realize this isn’t what you signed up for when you had that brilliant flash of insight that people need web-based help locating their keys. As a former softwareengineer I hate to admit that sometimes the easiest thing to do is build the software.
Had I known it was going to take the internet by storm I probably would have been a bit more careful with my word choice (especially referring to.NET as a language, doh!). Happy Look Like an Idiot on the Internet Day. If your desire was to make yourself look like an ignorant internet troll … I believe you have succeeded.
I do disagree about two other points: First, this isn't the "quora rockstar engineer" perspective. It's my perspective as well and I'm not a softwareengineer let alone a rockstar. I am talking about self-appointed 10x egostars, not real solid softwareengineers. This was another 7k for me.
But what I think was hard, and it was something he couldnt consider was that it would be harder to find a *maintaining* programmer, and how much it would cost to run the software, because of technical details he didnt understand. Dont blame the programmer if your internet platform or softwares not selling itself.
