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.
