Silas Notes

How to make the most of a Silas Partnership

Posted by Jacob on November 14, 2006

Jeff Croft has a good post about some of this things he runs into as a freelance web designer. I would echo his general point: come to us with problems and we can help you solve them, come to us with solutions and you aren’t getting your money’s worth.

I especially like the architect/construction worker analogy. We use that a lot internally to talk about phases of the project. We are of course happy to do both, but when the phases start mixing together it’s like having a jackhammer at a drafting table.

  1. At TheHighCalling.org, we’ve found the architect/construction worker analogy to be helpful too. It especially makes sense when you think of the stale designs that emerged during the 1990s.

    Those early html programmers were doing some wonderful things, but they rarely had a knack for design simplicity and beauty.
