Interesting post…like Sarah I too enjoy being a bit nosy and hearing about other designer/developers processes.
While I have few complaints with using Dreamweaver as a code editor, I would highly recommend giving E Text Editor a try. It’s built to support Textmate bundles and is a really good option for PC users.

Yay! comments are working ;)
Very good article, I’m a big fan of ‘drip feeding’ information to clients so that they don’t become obsessed with things like design too early. Waiting until content is complete, while not always achievable, is definately something to aim for.
A good read :)

Thanks for the comments guys.
@yaili I agree completely which is why I ask the question myself, I think it just has to be delicately put.

Hey Ryan,
Lovely post, it’s not often you get an insight into how other people work, and it’s always interesting because everyone works differently. Sounds like you’ve got a great workflow :)

I have to agree with you, Ryan: there’s something about DW (code view!!!) that just makes the 30 seconds it takes to load worth it :)
And about asking for the client’s budget, that can be a tricky question to ask, but, and I think I’ve heard this on the Boagworld podcast actually, when you’re going to build a new kitchen, you’re always asked what your budget is: if you have more money to spend, you can have better materials, better appliances, more hours of work – it’s not like the contractor will make each thing more expensive, they can just offer you more and better choices. That’s how I (sometimes) try to make my clients understand.
Nice blog post!
