Or possible to add.
My approach to web design.
1. Figure out what I want to do, for example: "Add google map with markers to my site."
2. Search google for it.
3. Choose from one of a dozen forums or developer sites that show how to do it, then tinker for an hour to see what other cool things I can do with it.
4. Go back to #1.
Designer approach to web design:
1. Figure out what I want to do.
2. Search designer's homepage to discover it's not mentioned.
3. Search designer's forums to find where someone else asked how to do it.
4. Read the inevitable "This feature is not currently supported by Designer X, but we'll add it soon" message written in March 2014 and closed 10 days later with no update.
5. Don't do the thing I want to do.
6. Go back to #1.
7. After doing this about five times, stab steak knives into my eyes to lessen the pain.
