great resource. I myself is a designer and I always take into consideration the whole site itself. I use CSS and make it to a point that it is validated and passed the standards.

Mr Mark, I think you have get rid of a in-experinced (left brain or Right) designers group…. that’s why your so ghasty about the so-called “designers”…. Instead you pay enough to get experienced(CSS,HTML) designers, at the end you won’t be in such a mental condition
to cry on them all the way in your article.
bye…take care of your RIGHT brain! (if it is there!)

[…] Mark Boulton recently spoke via Skype to my User-Centered Interface Design class at The Art Institute of Atlanta on the principles of design as they apply to the web, and his experience in the industry. Mark has made a name for himself in the web industry as a typographer, designer, and a skilled writer on these topics. He’s perhaps best known for his insightful, self-published series of articles entitled 5 Simple Steps, which explores core design topics such as the grid, and typography, and will soon be spun into a PDF book of the same name. Perhaps you have seen some of his other articles on A List Part and Vitamin. Mark brings together two traits in his work that rarely mingle, brilliant design talent, and humility that seems to keep him learning and sharing his wealth of knowledge. […]

After reading all the stuff, some ‘keywords’ came up to my mind, just like teamwork, project leader, interdisciplinary approach, tasks coordination, skills coordination, interactive approach.

A talented project leader will know how to make people interact in order to overcome all the restrictions coming from different fields of knowledge.

Great article, I agree with Mark Boulton.
Being a Designer I know the importance of having knowladge of xhtml/css with creative designing skills, I used it on my each project. Mark saying just the right thing, Please don’t take him wrong he is just advising that if designers change ‘how they think a little bit’ when they design something, they will find that project finished fast rather before. If he/she is designing for the platfrom, it will help dev to code it fast and easily.

To me, no self respecting web designer lacks knowledge of basic php, maybe it’s just my frame of reference, but i have never heard of a web designer wh doesn’t know how to make at least a simple php script. I myself am both a coder and a designer, when i design, i don’t think in code because i feel like that restricts me, i let my creativity do the design work and my knowledge make it all work seemlessly.

Just my 2cents
