A List Apart: Articles: Understanding Web Design - 0 views

  • Architecture (the kind that uses steel and glass and stone) is also an apt comparison—or at least, more apt than poster design. The architect creates planes and grids that facilitate the dynamic behavior of people. Having designed, the architect relinquishes control. Over time, the people who use the building bring out and add to the meaning of the architect’s design.
  • Web design is the creation of digital environments that facilitate and encourage human activity; reflect or adapt to individual voices and content; and change gracefully over time while always retaining their identity.
  • Great web designs are like great buildings. All office buildings, however distinctive, have lobbies and bathrooms and staircases. Websites, too, share commonalities.

  • The experienced web designer, like the talented newspaper art director, accepts that many projects she works on will have headers and columns and footers. Her job is not to whine about emerging commonalities but to use them to create pages that are distinctive, natural, brand-appropriate, subtly memorable, and quietly but unmistakably engaging.

Opera Developer News - Why use @supports instead of Modernizr? - 0 views

  • The reason to use @supports over Modernizr is performance; functionality that's built into the browser will always be faster than adding it in script. Removing an external dependancy saves an HTTP request to download Modernizr and doesn't require time to execute the JavaScript.
  • Should you use Modernizr or @supports? The answer is definitively "it depends". As with all web projects, only you can decide which is the best way.

Replacing the -9999px hack (new image replacement) - Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily... - 0 views

  • My friend Scott Kellum, design director at Treesaver, has now sent me this refactored code for hiding text, which I hereby christen the Kellum Method: .hide-text { text-indent: 100%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; } Really long strings of text will never flow into the container because they always flow away from the container. Performance is dramatically improved because a 9999px box is not drawn. Noticeably so in animations on the iPad 1.
  • Scott Kellum said on 1 March 2012 at 3:41 pm: I went ahead and created a side by side site to test the performance: http://lab.pgdn.us/hidden-text-performance/ @Ethan, This is the best 43min I have ever spent learning about optimizing the performance of my CSS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuMWhto62Eo
  • Would be interesting to understand both the SEO and accessibility impacts of this approach.

  • Scott Kellum said on 2 March 2012 at 4:06 pm: After much deliberation over here: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/issues/1005#issuecomment-4293007 Jonathan Neal suggested a method using font: 0/0 serif; and things seem to be settling on this — .ir { font: 0/0 serif; text-shadow: none; color: transparent; }
  • While I think this is certainly and interesting approach, I have some concerns with the accessibility. In some, if not all, cases when overflow: hidden; hides the content of the element this is applied to from screen readers. In most cases where I use image replacement, I still need the text to be accessible (e.g. call to action buttons set in Gotham). See Aaron Gustafson’s A List Apart article, http://www.alistapart.com/articles/now-you-see-me/. Has anyone tested this with a wide battery of screen readers or other accessibility devices?
  • Another note on accessibility: Besides the screen reader problems – people who don’t get images will not see the text too.
  • As a few people said already, this does not solve the accessibility problem that comes with text-indent. Worse, it may send the wrong message: “this is new and cool, use this from now!”. As a leader in the industry, I think you should warn people that even if this is “better” in term of performance, it is still a bad solution. Imo, Image Replacement techniques should be evaluated against the problems they solve/address. Fwiw, I wrote something about these challenges a few years back: http://tjkdesign.com/articles/tip.asp </shameless plug>

CSS Optimization: Make Your Sites Load Faster for Free by Blogging Pro - 0 views
