Yeah, you heard me, if you use Photoshop to design a website you are a complete idiot. Not just any idiot, but so idiotic that you shame and give other idiots who still manage to have more sense than you do a bad name.
Let’s get this straight. Photoshop (PHOTO SHOP) is for art work & editing images, ones you most likely took of your neighbour getting dressed through your basement window because you’ve never been with a real person before nor seen one up close. It has lots of tools to edit PHOTOS not design websites, of which it can, but it is quite complicated to design a site in Photoshop.
Ever try laying out forms and buttons in Photoshop? Compare that same task to Fireworks which has an in-built asset library that lets you drag and drop in already designed editable elements such as buttons, sliders and dropdown select boxes plus a whole lot more. Not to mention Fireworks is created for mocking up web designs and interfaces quickly.
Photoshop is like having sex with a disabled person, they don’t do much and to get them to do what you want them to, it is going to take a lot of work to achieve that end result.
The funny thing is that a majority of web designers (if you can even call them that) are still using Photoshop to design websites. These “designers” are so stupid that they’ve convinced themselves that Photoshop is the best tool for the job, fucking close minded sheep afraid to step out of line and use the forbidden tool that real web designers have been using for years, Fireworks.
Fireworks allows you to have pages, which means you can design a homepage for example and then clone it as another page, and change it as you need to. What does Photoshop have? Fucking layers that most designers are too fucking stupid and inconsiderate to even name half the time, let alone group them for you.
Photoshop makes web design complicated, less fluid and more time consuming. I got to a point not long ago where I was working on a site which was a 70mb PSD file and I ended up opening it up in Fireworks (thank God Fireworks lets you do that) because Photoshop was making the process so difficult I felt like throwing my computer against a brick wall.
