Hi,

I am just wondering how you guys deal with working from having UI
design to the actual Rails implementation?
(e.g.: 37signals - Interface First)

Sometimes we get the design of a web site from a "professional
designer" which (in 99.999%) of cases looks very nice and usable.
(And way better that I could possibly come up with).

Unfortunately such designs often do not follow a lot of Rails
conventions (REST is ignored, Flash messages are not used, Validation
errors presented in an absolutely different way etc).

This is often a barrier to using some Rails goodness (for example,
form builders - formtastic, simple_form).

So I, as a developer, either have to change the design bits to fit
into the Rails conventions or try to live with the design as-is.

Unfortunately I am pretty bad at UI design and prefer to trust the
designer.

What are your opinions on that?


Thanks,
Dima.
