The web-design industry has always faced limitations that get designers frustrated as they work around them.
Without actually knowing these limitations, you cannot properly design and achieve what you or your client may be after. Therefore, understanding the limitations of the industry and your own limitations can help you expand and work around them and is a key point that cannot be disregarded.
