She's designing social media strategies. Do they have to degrade gracefully, too?

Good thing she's not a designer then

Agreed. I viewed the source of the page and immediately saw one of my pet peeves--a blank document body that is dynamically replaced via script.

As I typically browse unfamiliar sites with scripts disabled, loading a blank page is instant failure for the site.

You build a barebones static page first, and then you add bells and whistles.

But then, after enabling script, what do I see? Images filled with mostly text. Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh... I bet they weren't even crushed.

Luckily for her, no business in its right mind would ask someone like me to evaluate any new marketing hires. Engineer-types and marketer-types in the same company are like mortal enemies, forced by circumstance to work together toward a common goal.

Ah although it's typical for designers to do this sort of thing, marketers also do it.

She's a marketer. This is the equivalent of nice PDF, which is the output of most marketing departments to their higher ups.
