Understanding how development works ...
Hi!
This post is for me to understand the process of coding.
I was in charge of administrating a web site, and to make sure the developers from the firm we used did what we wanted and needed fixed to be done.
In the link you'll see the front page and as a hero you see a gliding carousel of different upcoming performances. My questions are:
1. In the Figma design this should be a slow and continuous gliding carousel, and not with rests for each performance as it is today. When we asked for this to be done the development firm said that this would take several weeks to fix, and that it would cost several thousands of dollars – that was money we could not use for this, so we opted for this half-way solution with the rests (I live in Norway which explains the prices ...).
When I asked why this would take so long and cost so much, the answer was that the "package" used to create this carousel wasn't made for continuous gliding. So my question is: Is this really true? Would this take several weeks and cost so much to fix? And if not, how could it be easily fixed
2. I showed the code for the entire page to an associate professor of IT here in Oslo. He's immediate response, with no leading question was: Oh, that was complicated, I wouldn't build a site like this ... I wasn't in a position to really dig further, but have been thinking about this ever since.
So what did he mean?
