Why does a designer draw a site if a layout designer still describes it in HTML?

Question

HTML

I don’t understand why the designer draws the layout of the site, because then, in fact, the layout designer describes all the elements with code, lines, forms, buttons, frames, backgrounds ... ready-made images drawn are not used ... everything is described by code, only photos are taken, so why then?

Answer 1

Why does an architect draw a blueprint of a house if the builder builds it anyway?

Answer 2

Drawing is faster than typing.
If the layout is not approved, then redraw is faster than retype.
When drawing, it's easier to play around with different parameters (color, transparency, shadow, you get the idea) than when layout.
No one has yet come up with a project that would overtake psd into adequate html
Well, there are no pure layout designers left now. There are frontend developers.
Which are more programmers than psd2html converters. Artists, respectively, will not be able to climb into the layout either, because you need to write code, and not just html markup.

Answer 3

Yes, who knows. Apparently earlier, when everything was graphics, it was so accepted, and it has passed now.
Now, in fact, there are already people who, both designers and layout designers, immediately make the layout with the desired design.

Answer 4

I will rephrase your question: why lay brick walls, because then, in fact, the plasterer will cover them all with plaster.
You are comparing salty and soft.

Answer 5

Is a designer always a coder?

Answer 6

So that the layout designer does not keep much in his head.

Answer 7

The designer makes a layout not to take pictures from it (but in general for this too), but in general to understand what to typeset

Answer 8

Well, in general, something like that.
