1) Think that web designer and web developer are the same.
2) Also, that web designing is easy.
3) Think that everything is done on the back-end and the front-end is just "making things cute".

As a backend developer myself, I understand fully that frontend is as hard as backend, if not sometimes harder.
Ya sure, backend normally deals with stuff like business logic, but frontend requires a bunch of hard work to make everything look RIGHT.
Custom Components/Widgets is just as complicated.
Making things cute is not as simple as it sounds on paper:)
