Some may think "well...another web design blog, nothing new to it",and they might be right, but to this blog’s defence and any other blog for that matter, I answer this: never say you've seen it all, cause the web is a big place and can lead you into even bigger onesNick Fassolashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07257520966289883231noreply@blogger.comBlogger131100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5383373115177846030.post-53581667299395885972009-07-08T12:06:00.004+03:002009-07-08T12:16:02.921+03:00

Web Designers always have a lot of ideas on how to help their productivity as well as other designer's, the problem is that we rarely have the time to implement and share these ideas.Once in a while though, when an idea exists for a long time in the heads of designers, someone talented enough eventually finds the time and makes an idea come to life!This is what Chris Coyier has created, a page

By Nick FassolasI firmly believe that one of my jobs is to try to “educate” users, in things that web designers take for granted, for instance: a good web designer knows that IE6 is an out dated browser, full of bugs and flaws. That’s the reason why most web designers choose to develop and design websites for modern browsers.Users don’t know about these problems, they don’t understand CSS

Calling all designers, developers, information architects, project managers, writers, editors, marketers, and everyone else who makes websites. It is time once again to pool our information so as to begin sketching a true picture of the way our profession is practiced worldwide.Possibly the most important invention of the past century, the web is undeniably one of the most robust engines of

By Nick FassolasWeb designers have a naturally, distorted view of how people see and understand websites.The way we look at the web pages given the fact that we design them is very different from they way they are used in the real world by real users.To create projects that will operate in the real world, we first must understand how they will actually be used.How designers consider and view the

The development name for Mozilla Firefox 3.0 was Gran Paradiso. "Gran Paradiso", like other Firefox development names, is an actual place; in this case the second-highest mountain group in the Graian Alps. In 2006, the development team asked users to submit feature requests that they wish to be included in Firefox 3. Download Day is here!Set a Guinness World RecordEnjoy a

Below is a great article from blogdesignblog that is a guide for and about Usability and design in a website.Even people who have no idea about usability feel the need to write articles about it to tell other people what they themselves should be doing. Usability has become a hot topic and everyone wants a piece of it by writing their own list of guidelines. Most of which end up just repeating

Many designers have pointed out on many occasions that keeping it simple in css matters.When you create a website design in a graphics platform the first thing you do is try to separate it in divs, but most of us end up creating too many of them. Think about it. Do you really need all this wrappers and content divs?In my experience sometimes you do in other case you don’t, but let’s us focus in

By Nick Fassolas When Macromedia acquired Future Splash Animator from FutureWave Software back in 1996 and renamed it to Macromedia Flash their focus shifted from marketing it as a graphics and media tool to promoting it as a Web application platform, adding scripting and data access capabilities to the player while attempting to retain its small footprint. Flash originally was made to animate

The Idea.A unique idea is the first step that needs to be taken. This first step in the web design process requires, clear mind, talent, inspiration, attention to detail and a combination of web technologies mastering as well as a clear idea on who is going to be the one that visits your site.The Creation. After the process of gathering information about the project ends, putting it all together
