   Neither am I a web developer but I know what I want my sites to look   
   like and do so they use HTML, CSS, supplied fonts PHP. JavaScript, AJAX   
   ,SQL and any other thing I cant avoid *to get the result I want*   
      
   And that is the main thing for me. I know what I want the end result to   
   be, and how I get there is the shortest route that I know of.   
      
   If I want to say update a database in real time without hitting a   
   'submit' button that is Ajax, JavaScript PHP and SQL.   
      
   As soon as you are done entering the data is silently updated.   
      
   To make sure the browsers all use the same font, I supply a copy of it.   
      
   Everything else is fixed format CSS.   
      
   It's repeatable. mostly.   
      
   If I want to send someone a document I use a PDF. But that is not what   
   my websites do.
