NYTimes.com Hand-Codes HTML & CSS

Posted by kdawson on from the all-the-finest-sites dept.

eldavojohn writes "The design director of NYTimes.com, Khoi Vinh, recently answered readers' questions in the Times's occasional feature 'Ask the Times.' He was asked how the Web site looks so consistently nice and polished no matter which browser or resolution is used to access it. His answer begins: 'It's our preference to use a text editor, like HomeSite, TextPad or TextMate, to "hand code" everything, rather than to use a wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) HTML and CSS authoring program, like Dreamweaver. We just find it yields better and faster results.'"

    Do you complain that your spelling checker is being pedantic when it tells you that you have misspelt something? Apparently your spell checker wasn't pedantic enough to point you to the fact that "misspelt" is improper English. :P The correct term is misspelled.

    And I should give a fuck what the W3C thinks, if their "standards" cause problems for 90% of my customers?

    No thanks.
