Grunt for People Who Think Things Like Grunt are Weird and Hard ◆ 24 ways - 0 views
-
You install Grunt on a per-project basis. Go to your project’s folder. It needs a file there named package.json at the root level. You can just create one and put it there.
-
The contents of that file should be this: { "name": "example-project", "version": "0.1.0", "devDependencies": { "grunt": "~0.4.1" } }
-
Once that package.json file is in place, go to the terminal and navigate to your folder.

First you need to set a default “root” font-size variable: html { font-size: 62.5% } Why 62.5% instead of 100%? Simplicity. Our default font is now 10px, which makes math easier. Now, 1.0rem = 10px. This becomes our $rembase.
-
Now your fonts will scale perfectly during a browser re-size (if using responsive design), or if a user were to zoom in or out.

What’s so awesome about the unitless line height? You only have to specify it once in the <body> tag. Now, ALL other line height(s) are relative to the parent font-size. That’s too easy! (Of course, you can still specify your own to maintain complete control.)

Eric's Archived Thoughts: Unitless line-heights - 0 views
-
This is why it’s always strongly recommended that you use unitless numbers if you’re going to set a line-height on something like the html or body elements, or indeed on any element that is going to have descendant elements.

home pages themselves have a unique set of design goals.

Remember that smallest, deepest element I described earlier? This is the atomic element—for a news site, it’s the story page; for a search engine, it’s the search result; for a store, it’s a product page. This page accounts for 60 to 75 percent of all page views on the site. The rest belong to the home page.

8. Follow the user journey: check the main tasks for each of your audiences Identify the top tasks that you want your users to accomplish and follow the path that they have to take to get there. See if and when they have to leave the global site. See if they are bounced from one office to another in search of a form or procedure. Keep your eyes open. Because university sites are so often large, with each department or office owning its own page and information, it’s common to find duplicate, contradictory, missing, or incomplete information. Follow the journey, starting at different entry points, and see what you learn. If you’re already using personas, test them out. Better yet, do some quick user testing. (Testing doesn’t have to be expensive. And, by testing with just 5 users, you can uncover 85% of the issues).

Font sizing with rem - Snook.ca - 0 views
-
The problem with em-based font sizing is that the font size compounds. A list within a list isn't 14px, it's 20px. Go another level deeper and it's 27px!
-
The rem unit is relative to the root—or the html—element. That means that we can define a single font size on the html element and define all rem units to be a percentage of that. html { font-size: 62.5%; } body { font-size: 1.4rem; } /* =14px */ h1 { font-size: 2.4rem; } /* =24px */
-
I'm defining a base font-size of 62.5% to have the convenience of sizing rems in a way that is similar to using px.
