Breakdown Time of the Modern Web Design

Here is an interesting graph that shows you where we spent our time while creating a web site design today.

  • Time spent trying to get the bastard to work in IE.
  • Time spent trying to get the layout to work using only CSS before giving up and using tables.
  • Time spent looking for that one extra space character in the Javascript that Firefox is throwing a wobbly over.
  • Swearing.
  • Time spent wishing a slow, painful death on Bill Gates and more swearing.
  • Time spent actually designing anything.
  • Time spent making the site W3C compliant.

That concludes that at the of the day we spent about 10-20% of our time actually designing and the rest 80-90% fixing bugs and swearing.
