I appreciate the strength of your sentiment... You really don't want to look at this site: http://www.opensource.org/ Considering that it's supposed to be professional, it uses Garland! And Steven Wittens has moved past it design-wise -- check out http://acko.net/design (I think WP just wanted the color customization of Farbtastic). Thanks for your thoughts on this!

"(X)HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP ... If you don’t have any concept of what these things are or even a vague idea of how they work together to create a website, then you either need to find out about it or STOP DESIGNING FOR THE WEB." I really agree with this, and I would go as far as saying that project managers that work on web development team, should also have a vague understanding what these things are. Great post, I enjoyed reading it. However one of the things I don't agree with is the Garland part, sure we've seen Garland too much and the design is dated, but I remember reading about how everyone at Wordpress for example was drooling over Garland when it came out. They even went as far as taking it out of the Drupal CVS and porting it to Wordpress before it came out on the Drupal official release. Garland was designed by Steven Wittens who in my eyes is a great developer *and* designer. **** Previous comment had wrong link to my blog, sorry.

They are very customizable and a lot of documentation and resources are available, even for a layman to setup the sites and work with them. However at the same time, professional web designers and developers can really make a difference for anyone. If you can find the right one for you, and choose Open Source technologies to back your mission, I assure you can save a lot of money and build a fortune at the same time. It's just like, there are many ways to do a thing. Its the same with web, you do-it-yourself, get-it-done, buy pre-built websites, or hire a mega company known for its quality and precision. Its all up-to what you have on your mind and what is your plan.
