Over the last decade I’ve worked on many website projects, but I’ve never been able to answer a fairly simple question: “what’s actually involved in building a site” without the discussions rapidly spiraling off in many different directions as I try to describe the many dependencies and skill sets that somehow come together to deliver the magic.

Now, thanks to the talented folks responsible for A Website Named Desire, I no longer have that problem. I can simply point them to a great visualization which sums up all of the aspects of the job that people sometimes try to describe when they say “designer” or “developer”.

If you want the Javascript that delivers the random image from the poster above feel free to snag it below but make sure you check out the site it all it’s glory for the full effect!

   1:  <script type="text/javascript">

   2:  var v1= Math.round(Math.random() * 4);

   3:  var v2= Math.round(Math.random() * 3);

   4:  var ZoomLevel= 11;

   5:  document.write('<br><a href="http://awebsitenameddesire.com"><img src="http://awebsitenameddesire.com/ClientBin/awebsitenameddesire/GeneratedImages/dzc_output_files/' + ZoomLevel + '/'+ v1 + '_' +v2 + '.png" border="0" alt="A Website Named Desire"></a>');
