Default Re: SEO or Design

If you mean those designers who think a standards compliance website with 200 24-bit pngs, 500KB fixed backgrounds with tiny little floating details all around, is going to load as fast, run as smooth and attract search engine traffic as well as a flash binary.

Then yes. It is a daily struggle...

Designers always want to do "something different"... however in most cases they are too blind to see that nearly every website they visit on a day to day basis does not do what they think a website can do ( within any sort of reasonable timeframe )

It is a constant trade off... time / money / quality...

I will bend over backwards and sacrifice my time if I think the design is good ( having a good few years of design experience myself ) but I will not sacrifice my time because someone does not understand the technology and feels they can waste my time for something which is ugly / stupid or non-profitable...
