So there’s nothing really new in here. If you’ve done any web or UI design, or even thought much about it, you should say, “Oh, right, I know what that is” to most of these patterns. But a few of them might be new to you, and some of the familiar ones may not be part of your usual design repertoire. These patterns work for both desktop and web-based applications. Many patterns also apply to such digital devices as palmtops, cell phones, and TV-based devices like digital recorders. Ordinary web sites might also benefit, but I’ll talk more about that topic in the next section.

Web Design for Developers

Good web design is about much more than creating pretty pages. Basic concepts such as color theory, typography, layout, and usability are all part of a good design. These things work together to make the site
succeed for users. You could pick all the right colors and use smooth gradients, but if you don’t use a readable font, your site isn’t designed well. You could whip up something awesome in Photoshop or GIMP, but you’ll never be able to make it look good in a browser if you don’t know how HTML and CSS work. If you have sloppy markup, your JavaScript won’t work as you expect it to work. If you don’t optimize your content, search engines will hate your site. And if you take accessibility and usability for granted, your users will hate your site even more. Continue Reading »

CSS3 For Web Designers

Looking back upon the storied history of CSS, we see some important milestones that have shaped our direction
as web designers. These watershed techniques, articles, and events helped us create flexible, accessible websites that we could be proud of both visually as well as under the hood. You could argue that things began to get interesting back in 2001, when Jeffrey Zeldman wrote “To Hell With Bad Browsers” (http://bkaprt.com/css3/1/),1 signaling the dawn of the CSS Age. This manifesto encouraged designers to push forward and use CSS for more than just link colors and fonts, leaving behind older, incapable browsers that choked on CSS1. Yes, CSS1. Continue Reading »

CSS Hacks and Filters

The theory of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a means to an end: better, more efficient Web site design. In the real world, however, CSS does not provide a perfect, clear-cut path to that goal.To achieve the promise of CSS, working designers have employed a series of workarounds known collectively as hacks. At the most basic level, a CSS hack is a modification to the standard CSS code. Like any deviation from the norm, the use
of CSS hacks has both its supporters and detractors: Some designers feel CSS hacks are an absolute necessity and others are fervently opposed to them. Continue Reading »

Foundation Website Creation with CSS, XHMTL and JavaScript

Believe it or not, when we were kids, the standard way to send written text to someone was by mail. Not e-mail, mind you, but the physical kind requiring a stamp on the envelope. Admittedly, this makes us feel incredibly old. Right up until middle school, we would submit handwritten assignments, just like everybody else in our classes. It was the standard.
