Dreamweaver and JQuery

Saturday, January 8th, 2011

An exciting time for web designers and web developers alike.

Dreamweaver is working with the creators of the de facto javascript framework JQuery to integrate JQuery animations into the Dreamweaver environment on the next version release. It also plans to integrate the JQuery Mobile Project and JTouch into it’s arsenal — a powerful combination.

You can read more about this project, and the new Adobe Edge project here.

Wire-framing Web Design

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Wire-framing is one of the initial steps after defining a project’s objectives. There are plenty of techniques and strategies out there pertaining to  approaching this highly creative step, and they all depend on “what you know, and how you apply it” — but we thought this was a great overview and list of ways to get it done from sixrevisions. http://sixrevisions.com/user-interface/website-wireframing/

THE FUTURE OF WEB DESIGN

Thursday, October 21st, 2010

The Future Of Web Design conference is coming to New York, NY in November.
http://futureofwebdesign.com/new-york-2010/schedule/

Web design is a mix of the aesthetics of design, knowing when and where to engage and how to visually guide your audience, coupled with the technology which helps bring it to life. It looks like this conference has a healthy mix of both sides of the equation and has a line up and workshops that can really integrate.

We can all come up with great ideas, look at preexisting work and comment of it — sometimes tearing it to shreds and sometimes praising it… but when it comes down to working together and integrating all the pieces to make a web site come alive to shine, it takes a whole lot more. Not just an understanding of how to bring all these pieces together but the know-how to get it done right and a design sense that encapsulates the experience.

Rounded Corners For CSS3 Website designers

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Now that CSS3 is starting to penetrate, web Design has many exciting additions are worthy of mentioning. One being CSS rounded corners. In the past and most likely the present in order to get the widest penetration with older browsers, web designers and front-end developers used tricks or work-arounds to get the rounded corner implemented with few or no graphic images. After trying many things this one sticks out as one working very well!!  http://dillerdesign.com/experiment/DD_roundies/

But if your into CSS3 there are some options for borders in CSS3, of which one is border-radius. Both Firefox and Safari 3 have implemented this function, which allows you to create round corners on box-items.

The code for this example above is actually quite simple:
(The example below is an image so all browsers can see it)

<div style=" background-color: #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 10px;" >

These different corners can also each be handled on their own:
(The above example is an image so all browsers can see it)

These are handled by this:
-moz-border-radius-topleft / -webkit-border-top-left-radius
-moz-border-radius-topright / -webkit-border-top-right-radius
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft / -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius
-moz-border-radius-bottomright / -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius
