Web studios in Karaganda city
23.10.2011 21:07:38 In this article I will talk about the web business in Karaganda. For a couple of years of work in this area I had worked with three studios of the city, in my opinion the biggest. Wow how much all I've seen enough, different technologies, different problems, advantages, disadvantages, methods of work, schools and stupidity.Let me pribyut for the fact that I was a little to reveal the truth about them, but I'm actually writing this for them, can they ever think about it. And so I'll start!
The first posting was Creatida, strictly speaking the special claims for it does not, except that they do not have a full-fledged site. In this studio, I learned a great team and it is adequate methods of work, have their own experience in the field of CMS, and at the time when I worked at did not have to update the site on pure HTML, everywhere there were adequate engines, even in the absence of the admin update never sites created difficulties.
I do not think that PR Kreatidu just the first impression is always the benchmark. I do not know why even went there, probably would have stayed if it would have reached a good height, but on the other hand, if it were not so much left to useful knowledge and experience is unlikely to be received!
By the way he remembered the reason why the left, I was not given a full vacation, something like begged week.
After I came to Kreatidy Hoster.kz, in fact it is not even a web-studio and hosting company, but that they are developing Nemenov sites, in principle, quite successfully.
But in the domestic policy of the company has serious drawbacks:
No own CMS, all developments are carried out on Bitrix, UMI, more recently on zhumle by the way the logo in the panels they have changed in form similar to zhumlovsky.
The presence of sites on the support made in pure HTML that says no rational use of resources DTP.The studios who value their time, such sites are forced to rework at least the minimum engine that makes it easier and easier to work with. Always hated this situation, but that can make coder without the permission of the manager? That's right nothing! To remedy the shortcomings site must notify the owner of the site, which for a time the site will not be available due to error correction. But to convince the manager that he persuaded the client and most importantly took the time to this matter, just not a real problem! And in between times, 3 edits total of the site for longer than if the engine would be amended to more appropriately.
Coder in Hoster is a versatile tool which can be used as you wish, and impose it, fills in some cases, programming, seoshnichaet, monitors attendance statistics, statistics, content, and sometimes even had to edit the contents of the flash, and yes I almost forgot some individuals even attracted for fueling printer cartridges (well, it is not critical). Well, I understand that to some extent, a person must be universal, but excuse me seoshit certainly not the responsibility of the coder!
Matriarchy in the department of development, all managers in the department of development of women, the horror just do not think that I antifeminist, I understand just what is the difference of thinking men and women ... So a woman does not go into technical aspects, and the manager of web development needs to understand then what is it, ladies diligence is nice, but if it can not adequately put to the task performer (developer) and the most important thing to understand that the Executive answer about the possible characteristics of performance ... If the manager can not understand the artist, the work goes in one direction only. Developer receives any response is ignored, just to be done, but there is no right or no one cares, but in between times if between a bunch of client - Manager - Artist is a full discussion, the end result will be much better and faster. On the initiative from the top were trying to make everyone understand and listen to each other, but ultimately it came down to the fact that the manager is a God and it must obey, even if he (she) is not right:)
Cutting vacation for a week, ie Of the three weeks of vacation was only two
Interruption of one operation to another emergency
The advantages of hosting'll take something that always managed to win coder text from designers, now I will clarify that this is about ... When the designer draws the layout (site design), often using some sort of non-standard font smoothing or other show-off. Here there is a problem, not all things are possible to impose a standard means, smoothing the text is not supported by all browsers, about fonts in general a sore point, all that is not subject to the standard font set in the operating system will not be understood by browsers of course there are ways to tie your font, but they are krosbrauzerny not! In such cases there is only one way to mark up in full conformity with the model is to make a picture. But do not text a picture is the right way! This is evil! First, if the text in the menu, then sell it through CMS auto-complete is not possible, well to be honest about it is not possible, I once did a similar implementation using PHP GD + JavaScript, but the implementation is labor intensive and creates an unreasonable burden on the host, since to generate a menu using GD. Also, all the text to make the picture can not be copied, indexed, quickly change! A lot of deficiencies is not it, but unfortunately many Web studios abuse it, such as menu items, phones headlines. Incidentally, in this order kreatide abused.
The third and final studio where I worked, though not long it is Web-Style. Designs on their level Kreatidy, the same beautiful, except that Decl not up to Privalov:)
Generally they are always in trudyazhki dam. In general relationship with the developers they have a good thing that I've seen, you want to get paid more, do you want to work at home, please just do the work faster ... Quickly is their only requirement and that the lack of them, sorry guys well I do not like the way you work:
Abuse of a text-images, even in places where it is possible and without it
Lack of proper layout code clutter out of date tags (font), extra styles are not bred in the css file, no doctype, code 1251 on the Kazakh-resource EPT MAZDAY 1251, IE MAZDAY, WINDOWS MAZDAY, <FONT> MAZDAY
The presence of a very large number of sites to update imeyuschik either pure HTML or engine is not suitable for fast editing CRW> KZ MAZDAY, the work of such sites is very slow.
Space, I will not describe about it, I understand those who know and those who do not and should not be understood)
The requirement for flexibility is too high
Working on this web studio, I auditioned for the role of the programmer, but unfortunately could not resist the influx of works that were beyond my powers, and was required to solve problems in the shortest possible time and had to get up early and finish later, sitting in the output so as not to hear annoying questions (How much this time? How long? At what point?). And then there's staring at the horrific situation in the architecture of their projects, making yourself wrong govnokod of lack of time, I began to visit often as the idea to write your own CMS devoid of many drawbacks ... By the way, these ideas had long been, and still in Hoster was already a true version of CMS failed to implement. And then I decided to leave Web-style spit at all, and began to write his CMS, sorry guys for such a surprise, but I could not stand it, I could not put the idea on the shelf, it is very painful for progeria give up the idea, but thanks to Web-Style for the fact that due to shortcomings in their work, I was able to implement their CMS.
Conclusions:
So my conclusions are made in the course of work in the studios of the web. Yet they lack professionalism, and in some cases, simple common sense. And as a former employee of this area, I advise clients not to choose a long time in a studio to do the work for the studios straight huge differences in quality will not be. The quality will depend not so much from the studio and the client! And it's not in demand from strict compliance with the studio. The smaller the client creates difficulties for the studio, the better the quality. For example, if a client wants a very fancy design, it is a huge mistake by the customer.
No doubt the studio will go to a meeting on this issue, but a beautiful site too hard and will ultimately not very good. And by the way when a customer chooses a design options for a long time and always asks to redraw the layout, it leads to the further development that will be less time and work will be done in a hurry that affect the quality. And another interesting nuance amendment after the design is approved and after site is up and programmed to generate a lot of bugs in the code resource. Client should no longer rely on the opinion of the developer and provide as much information about your company and activities in a carefully structured way.
During his tenure, every studio has years of experience and knowledge of what the client needs to actually ...
All deficiencies often arise because of the client or the client is investing too much ambition in the design, krasotulki, either do not understand how to use the site to ...
The site is not just a pretty wrapper, a tool for advertising, and it's not paper, not the TV, no picture, no posters.
The site is the information, text, lots of text, images, animation and all this on a bright screen, the eyes razbigayutsya, strain. Abuse: Contrast, animation, bells and whistles are not necessary elements in the likeness of the weather or something that leads to a reduction in user happiness when viewing this site.
The most interesting thing that most people webstudio understand what they are doing too much and would be happy to do this, but there are two simple rules: All for your money and customer is always right. Therefore, ordering a website talking about the artist that he can correct you if you are wrong, let's call a developer and you have a good website that generate revenue and not just waste!
And the main conclusion: All-webstudio city, it is not different organizations, and one, because it does not twist, developers, small and gradually trained in one office to another flow from second to third. It is also the case with the clients if the client or do not like that it brings your site to support another studio, where sooner or later convince him to alter the site, then a third from the third again in the first. And so the circle.
The article is slightly delayed and absorbed too many thoughts. All the while all the luck, I'm sorry if hurt or whose interests!
