Gentle Linkers,

Is it ethical for a "web design" firm to say they can deliver "online
applications" even after their programmer leaves? When the programmer
delivers code that contains basic security flaws, but they seem unconcerned?

What about when a client pressures me to do a "rush job" building a website
in Dreamweaver (end client requirement for maintenance), a tool I've never
used, even though I've told them this is a bad idea because I won't know
"best practices"?

I've written more about these issues on by blog...

...and would welcome feedback, here or there.

One question I've asked: Has the time come for regulated and enforceable
"building codes" for websites?
