Find the Right Web Typography Rhythm & Scale with Gridlover

Posted By on January 16, 2013

I firmly believe that one of the most important things a web designer can do is develop the eye for good typography. Now, I’m not talking about font selection per-se (although it is important), but spacing and sizing.

As boring and un-creative as “margin”, “gutter” and “line height” may sound, it’s the foundation to a beautiful website. I think it’s what sets the pros apart from the amateurs.

To help hone your skills and easily develop some awesome web type CSS, consider giving Gridlover some love:

A New Mix of WordPress Snippets on WP-Mix

Posted By on January 4, 2013

It’s easy for WordPress code snippet websites to become redundant. It’s not like WordPress is some kind of secret or someone will stumble on some new thing without the dudes at Automattic knowing about it. Plus, these sites can become stale fairly quickly, as they require a lot of maintenance to be a really good resource. Every time WordPress releases an update, things can become depreciated. That’s why I always double check with Codex before using a snippet. I’m always on the look-out for cool new resources and I’ve found a new one.

One big issue that web designers have ALL of the time is the issue of making sure your blog shows up the same on all browsers, on all platforms and on any screen size. The combinations seem endless and so you need to have the best tools with you to do the best you can.

It should be noted that you do NOT need a degree in design or web programming to simply test your site and note what is wrong. Church assistants or blogging moms need to assume that it is not being done and be proactive.

Here are three resources that you can use today to get out your site.

Flexible ‘Coming Soon’ WordPress Pages

Posted By on December 4, 2012

I build websites with WordPress.

One of the common issues I run in to is how to build the site that I can give easy access to clients without having it viewable by the public and without having to make the client log in to the site when they just want a sneaky peek.

There are a few ways of doing this.

Posted By on December 3, 2012

Whether you’re a web designer/developer (like me), a Church, School, Society, Club or have a personal blog; chances are at some point you’ll need to use a web form of some kind – be it a simple contact form, through to a survey, booking form or even a basic store.
