Layout

newbee007, 2014-11-25 13:02:32

Some say that in 2015 automatic layout (by software or services with a graphical interface) will be able to produce high-quality, valid and clean code.
Services in this area promise automatic generation of high-quality html / css / js code, themes for cms, sliders, e-mail newsletters, etc.
Won't this kill the profession of layout designer?
And at the same time, will it bring down the salaries of Front-end specialists? (a lot of typesetters will go to the adjacent area).

While you are struggling with the graphical interface, a professional layout designer will make 2-3 times more. The only thing is a decrease in the level of entry into the profession, but it is not high in layout anyway.
The developers of all sorts of services can promise anything - it's their job.

If this happens, then it is one hundred percent not in 2015. With the same success, one can say that in 2016 programmers will not be needed, since these same services will be able to pull code on engines.

Yes, yes, and pulling themes on WordPress will finally kill front-end development.

I haven’t been interested in the web for 10 years, maybe layout killers didn’t surface all the time, but then the same thing was said about Dreamweaver.
Firstly, the program is more limited in functionality than a specialist.
Secondly, these programs need to be written by someone, which means that these people need to know the layout.
Thirdly and most importantly, technology does not stand still. a professional keeps up with them any faster than software updates.
It will be possible to replace only pure html+css layout designer, who works like an automaton, without a drop of imagination, without a single thought, without the slightest understanding, stupidly transfers the issued layout to .html according to templates hammered into the head. Those. The machine will only replace the machine.
Another question is that they will transform the process and for new layout designers and those who can retrain, the process will probably become easier. Maybe. But only with a full understanding of the code that the program will do.

When sites cease to be made, then, and therefore, no one will make up.
