It’s easy, if you just throw any old junk up on a page. On the other hand, building a good one is much harder than it appears. The givvy site is coming along well, but sometimes it can be very frustrating. I was working on one page last night - not the code, mind you - just the contents. It took me 3 hours and about 10 versions until I had something that I liked. Oh, and it’s a really simple page!
Seth and James, on the other hand, are coding machines turning my ideas and Mike’s designs into pages that really work. I don’t know how they do it and that’s probably a good thing. I’ve often heard that software development is like making sausage. The process is ugly (and you really don’t want to know about it), but the end result can sometimes be amazing! When it’s not amazing, the results of software design and development can be pretty ugly. Ergo, good Web sites are hard.
