“But The Client Wants IE 6 Support!” - Smashing Magazine
Frequently, when I discuss CSS3 with other developers, the issue of stubborn clients comes up. They tell me that even though they personally don’t think a website should look the same in all browsers and they’re eager to try all of these new techniques, their clients insist that their website should look the same, so the developers are stuck with the same Web development techniques that we used fi

Review Of Cross-Browser Testing Tools — Smashing Magazine
Regardless of the tool you choose, testing early and often during the Web development process can save you from a lot of headaches later. Find a tool that fits your workflow with a little help from Cameron Chapman. At some point in the future, the way that all major browsers render Web code will likely be standardized, which will make testing across multiple browsers no longer necessary as long as
CSS3 vs. CSS: A Speed Benchmark — Smashing Magazine
Trent Walton takes a single case experiment. Designs and codes a Web page and adds visual enhancements twice: once with CSS3, and a second time using background images sliced directly from the PSD. He times himself and compares. I believe in the power, speed and “update-ability” of CSS3. Not having to load background images as structural enhancements (such as PNGs for rounded corners and gradients
How To Use CSS3 Pseudo-Classes — Smashing Magazine
CSS3 is a wonderful thing, but it’s easy to be bamboozled by the transforms and animations (many of which are vendor-specific) and forget about the nuts-and-bolts selectors that have also been added to the specification. A number of powerful new pseudo-selectors (16 are listed in the latest W3C spec) enable us to select elements based on a range of new criteria. “CSS3 Pseudo Classes”)](https://www

Showcase Of Beautiful But Unusable Websites — Smashing Magazine
“Form follows function” is a widely accepted — albeit controversial — principle that most designers in a variety of disciplines have adopted since its inception at the turn of the 20th century. On the web, we commonly refer to function as usability which is the ease of use and navigation of a website in order to achieve user’s goals. In this showcase we present websites that sacrifice usability fo
Designing For Content Management Systems — Smashing Magazine
Designing and indeed front-end development for a website that will have content edited by non-technical users poses some problems over and above those you will encounter when developing a site where you have full control over the output mark-up. However, most clients these days want to be able to manage their own content, so most designers will find that some, if not all, of their designs end up a
Billboard Web Design: How To Win Your Audience’s Attention — Smashing Magazine
Let’s say you’re driving down the freeway at 65mph and you see the roadside plastered with advertising posters on both sides. Some small, some large, all meant in some measure to cause you to remember a brand or identity, to keep that company name in your mind. The more saturated the roadside becomes with advertisements, the more the brand has to be distinctively creative, unique and memorable. Ge
Learning to Love HTML5 — Smashing Magazine
It seems that new resources and articles for teaching and promoting HTML5 are popping up almost daily. We’ve been given HTML5 templates in the form of the HTML5 boilerplate and HTML5 Reset (although they both go beyond just HTML5 stuff). We’ve got a plethora of books to choose from that cover HTML5 and its related technologies. We’ve got shivs, galleries, and a physician to help heal your HTML5 ma
Equal Height Column Layouts With Borders And Negative Margins In CSS — Smashing Magazine
“What? Another ‘Equal Height Column’ article? Enough already!” If this is what you think, then think again because this solution is different. It does not rely on any of the usual tricks. It does not use images, nor extra markup, nor CSS3, nor pseudo-classes, nor Javascript, nor absolute positioning. All it uses is border and negative margin. Please note that this article will also demonstrate dif
The Gradual Disappearance Of Flash Websites — Smashing Magazine
If you want to “go big” visually with a website, delivering complex interaction and a rich experience across a wide range of browsers, Flash is the only way to go. Right? Nope. Given the widespread adoption and advancements of modern browsers and JavaScript libraries, using Flash makes little sense. But it does have its place on the Web, considering the need for progressive enhancement. In the cur
Showcase Of Web Design In China: From Imitation To Innovation — Smashing Magazine

Showcase of Academic and Higher Education Websites — Smashing Magazine
College and university websites have a lot of roles to fill. They need to provide information for prospective students (both new and transfer), parents of students and prospective students, current students, and alumni. In many cases, they’re also the gateway to the school’s intranet and the public face for both academics and athletics. They often need to include reams of information in a way that

Print Magazines for Web Designers, Digital Artists, and Photographers — Smashing Magazine
Although much valuable information for all sorts of web and print professionals can be found online, it is often difficult to weed through all the noise and find good quality content. I believe it’s vital that professionals in different creative fields supplement their online learning and research through well-edited and high-quality print publications. Although much valuable information for all s
Usability Review of Charity Websites Taking the Lead — Smashing Magazine
Over the years designers have pushed themselves to create unique and inspiring designs. Companies have yearned to have websites which are innovative and make them stand out against their competitors. Yet charity websites have not progressed along with trends and expectations — they seem to have been designed for launch and then only updated with minor tweaks to suit the content.
