ATTN: All DNN Developers–
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008 | Design
I’d like to know when you plan on learning web standards, XHTML and CSS. It’s 2008, and there’s no excuse for a module that costs money–PHP-based CMS’ have a wealth of free, high-quality modules–to have poor layout techniques ( tables and span tags everywhere ), amateur of CSS and crappy admin screens.
I’m calling on the DNN Core Team to encourage web standards and learning professional HTML and CSS, instead of half assed lazy HTML/CSS generated by IDEs for programmers who don’t care to learn. To the Core Team’s credit, they’re getting close with DNN 5.
I’m urging the operators of SnowCovered.com to give careful evaluation of submitted modules for: professionalism, web standards, UX design, simplicity and value. A lot of crappy vendors are ripping people off on your web site with terrible modules, outdated code, bloated features and lazy admin screens. Stop letting it happen.
The leaders in the DNN community need to step up and show people the way. Start by Getting Real (also mentioned on the DNN blog recently, a good sign) and learn what matters: making your web site easy for your customers to use–visitors and editors / administrators.
Hopefully, www.dnngallery.net can be a push in that direction, even if Cuong Dang has a strange affinity for Khoi Vinh ;-P
