Before artists approach a canvas with ideas and a final vision of the painting, they prepare tools, paints, mediums, brushes, and prepare space in which to dry the canvas.
Those little preparations are essential for the flow of the work. As observers, we don’t think about these elements or even consider them as part of the process.
When you hire a web designer or developer, you don’t think about the tools, programs, or platforms used by their agency, as we tend to think of the process as a leadup to the completed product; the desired website.
