Talk about the Web Fight Club

Thursday, September 15th, 2005 at 11:47 am

It is pretty easy to preach web standards as a contractor or a freelancer with 10 page web sites as projects. It is also pretty easy to keep our blogs clean and advertise best practise web design and information architecture with them.

It is pretty darn impossible to get the same ideas implemented in huge projects, and the more people involved, the more will be cut on best practice ideas. Many a time I delivered clean, valid and flexible templates to see months later down the line that they have been butchered.

Robert Nyman wonders about this issue in his post Why do we have to fight and in the best manner of remote commenting some good ideas have been expressed about it over at Roger Johansson’s.

Off to yet another round in the ring…
