    As a graphic designer, what do you struggle with the most when it comes to web design?

    I wholeheartedly agree with the above :). the part I mostly struggle with is testing and the unavoidable bug fixing that follows. I found that things like browserstack is pretty useless, since you cannot figure out what is causing the issue. I can run multiple instances of Firefox on my...
