One thing about the web is that it requires you relinquish control.
If you're a government, you can't control the flow of information.
If you're a designer, you can't control the exact placement of pixels.
If you're a developer, you can't control how content will flex and bend across devices, inputs, etc.
If you want to work with the web, give up the idea of control and your expectations will be properly set from the outset (which helps you avoid disappointment and/or disillusionment).
