How can I enjoy or avoid developing every web application I make?

Question

I know this sounds silly, but I have big problems (well, not that huge, but still ...) problems when I get an idea for a web project, small or large. Instant shutdown is when I remember that I need to manually and manually encode html / css again and again. I like programming a lot more than creating websites, and I just don't like creating them the way I like to program them.

With that said, I also prefer simple and minimalist designs. What is your approach to web design, how do you make it enjoyable (at least a little)?

Answer 1

If you do not have any ready-made templates, merge with someone. Share the idea with the designer and work together on the project.

Answer 2

I use ready-made HTML / CSS templates . Or I create my own and reuse them. But I try not to reinvent the wheel every time.

Answer 3

I do XHTML / CSS myself. Reuse is the key. Most projects are pretty common: header, columns, footer. Create some common patterns that you recognize, modify, and reuse. Use comments in your CSS so you can easily make a difference.

If you organize your toolbox, most of your XHTML / CSS work will modify existing code and not manually write them from scratch.

If this does not work, delegate.

Answer 4

I see the following 3 possibilities as good candidates in your decision:

1.) Use a CMS (it's simple and affordable)

2.) Give your project assignments to the university, where students of a small number of students will want to do this for you, and you can make a payment as a scholarship and organize work on the project as a race between students to find the best designer. You do not need to pay taxes after paying the scholarship, students are ready to do the work for a very small amount (students are the poorest people in the world), and from 10 candidates you can choose a winner (the best for your taste)

3.) Go to the Freelancing website and open this project. Freelancer designers will try to bid for lower and lower prices, shorter and shorter periods, and the winner will be Freelancer, who provides the best solution at the lowest price. However, in most cases, the cheapest person and the best quality supplier is not the same person, in which case you must decide how important the cost is and how important the quality is for you.

Answer 5

I believe that any kind of development requires solving complex problems in 10% of cases. Another 90% of the time is a tedious repetition of patterns. Over time, you refine your templates, your templates, your process, etc., so that you can avoid the tedious parts where possible.

On the bottom line, although you usually have to wade through tedious parts long enough to figure out how to avoid them, most new developers will simply not appreciate the frameworks that generate the code / automate the design because they don’t understand what manual coding is saved etc.

Keep this, I'm sure you can optimize your process to reduce the number of html / css encodings as much as possible. I do not think there is good magic to remove this work. Pay your fees and you will not regret it.
