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?
