Looking for a simple way to make rounded corners using CSS? Here it is! With this very simple method, you don’t need to use any images or complicated code with divs etc. Nothing really is necessary. Just 2 lines in your CSS file.
All you need is the following CSS property (in this example I create a “rounded-corners” CSS class which you can then apply to your HTML element): (more…)
I found this really great article on using different style sheets for differently sized browser windows when designing a website or web application, potentially significantly enhancing the user experience. Enjoy!
The web design field includes 3 areas of expertise that require unique sets of skills. Design, client side programming, and server side programming are the 3 main areas of expertise necessary to accomplish anything good in the web design field – and they are very different in nature.
If you’re working on a web design & development project, or looking for a team to work with you, this is something that is absolutely crucial to understand. (more…)
One of the most common frustrations for novice web designers updating and managing their website can be solved with cache management. If you ever make changes to your site and you know it’s uploaded properly but the changes are not being reflected in your browser, try clearing your cache. (more…)
One of our clients recently asked me if we were “insured if the technology you use for a website breaks down and hurts business generated by the site”. As far as I know, such insurance doesn’t exist in the web world as it would be impossible to insure a website or web application against bugs or problems that can potentially arise. Here is why:
Browsers are regularly updated and new browsers are constantly created. Different browsers and different browser versions interpret web pages differently. Websites and web applications need to be adjusted, maintained, and updated accordingly in order to continue to work properly in new browsers.
New computers come out on the market all the time, with new or updated operating systems, platforms, etc… And that influences some aspects of your website as well such as available fonts, font aliasing, etc… It is sometimes enough for a font to be interpreted slightly differently to throw off the page design by adding a new line for example.
On the server side, a server can crash or malfunction and cause the website or web application to bug, even if the application itslef is perfect.
There are so many factors and variables that come into account when it comes to a website or web application that insuring them just doesn’t make any sense. Sure we can guarantee that our work is of the highest standards and that the website or web application will work perfectly on all CURRENT major browsers, operating systems, and computers. Promissing more than that would just be empty of meaning and no Web Design Company out there can deliver beyond that.
