How To Take Advantage Of HTML5 Trends & Tools

HTML5 is already making its mark on today’s internet era by overcoming the limitations of its Flash and HMTL predecessors. The unification of HTML and XHTML syntax and the introduction of application programming interfaces (APIs) are good examples. HTML5 also simplified multimedia and graphical content management without having to rely on proprietary plugins and APIs. Simply put, the videos and photo apps that we enjoy using today are predominantly being supported by this platform.

Created by Opera Software, HTML has been a core technology of the internet. The 5th revision, or HTML5, has made multimedia more readable by humans and understandable to devices and computers. The benefits of using the tool include faster image downloads, improved SEO, refined animation effects and easier web and mobile app development.

We’ve been following improvements, controversies and news related to HTML5 for some time and today we offer a few pieces of expert advice, target markets for developers, users and designers, and top tools currently supporting the technology. Read more…

HTML5 and CSS3: Wireframing in the final product

HTML5 LogoIt’s a classic case of Photoshop versus website. Existing wireframing and prototyping tools are incapable of accurately reflecting the environment of the web.

They produce static designs that can’t be seen through the variable known as the web browser. And when you build the final website, some elements won’t look exactly like their draft counterparts, and the client will notice those minor differences in fonts, positioning, etc.

You may be more comfortable with a graphics program, and rendering the design iterations may seem to take longer if you have to hand-code the HTML.

However, the advantages of creating a wireframe in HTML from the start are beginning to outweigh the alternatives: not only do we have new layout elements in HTML5 and more powerful selectors and styling in CSS3, but by combining them, we can throw together a simple layout quickly.

We’re hearing a new company every day (37Signals, Atomiq and others) explain its adoption of HTML prototyping. Their main reason is that the process is surprisingly easy when you have the right tools in place. You’re about to learn how easy this process can be, and when you’re done, you’ll have a head start on your next build. Read more…

The Next Level of Design: Being Unique

thumbIn a world filled with CSS galleries and showcase websites, everything starts to look the same.

Gradients, rounded corners, drop shadows, it’s extremely hard to get away from the strongest of trends in our industry.

Each year however, some people manage to set themselves totally apart from everyone else and produce stunning designs with inspiration seemingly flowing directly out of their fingers and into their work.

In this post, we’ll take a look at a few of those people and some of the things which they do to be unique from everyone else. Read more…

You’re Failing as a Web Developer — and Here’s Why

undefinedThere is endless content available in the world of web design blogging telling us how to do things right, and how to succeed at our chosen profession.

That’s obviously a good thing, and it will certainly continue that way. But once in a while we need reminders on the things we do (or fail to do) that are negative.

That is, things that can have a detrimental impact on our progress as designers and developers — despite that these things may be temporarily helping us pay the bills and keep us afloat financially.

We all need to analyze our situation and assess whether or not we’re forming healthy design and coding habits, and whether those habits could be providing short-term gains that are not conducive to long-term success.

So, take this information with a grain of salt (because I know some of it is highly debatable) and consider whether or not you personally are doing anything that could prevent you from having a job in five years. Read more…
