I want to hear some solid reasoning for why a Web Designer/Programmer should be a part of an IT divsion of a company or the communications/marketing division. Don’t get all twisted up about designer vs. programmer – anyone in that position worth discussing here should at least be able to do a little of both – and for the purposes of this question lets say results are the same no matter whether their strength is programming or design…the desired end result is an effective Web site. I anticipate some of you trying to take me to task and saying the programming versus design is absolutely important – for the sake of argument you can assume there is support for whatever weakness the person in this position might need help with, design or programming. Again, the title of the job, as many of you have seen plenty of times before, is Web Designer/Programmer…in what division does it belong & why? One initial thought – should everybody using a phone be part of the telecommunications division?
