Designers That Code #

Jenifer Tidwell:

So, it’s possible to be seen as both a designer and a coder. But it requires very, very careful management of your personal brand.

Website Redesign

Ferns in spring in Inwood Hill Park, New York City, May 2016. After eleven years apart, hypertexthero.com (design) and simongriffee.com (photography) were combined into one — this — website. If you came here looking for photographs, don’t worry, those are not going away and regular entries depicting the streets of New York will resume shortly right here in the Notebook (the front page). A mailing list is still available for my six faithful subscribers, as is an RSS syndication feed, and you can now browse content by keyword, time, location and the randomness of life thanks to Hugo’s wonderful Taxonomies system.

Begin by reading the classic article on web design: A Dao of Web Design. Then: On the Web Any of the following resources (I particularly like Simple & Useful) are good ways forward:

Web Typography Template

Good web design involves good writing and good typography. To offer the latter to anybody looking to make reading easy on a web browser or a mobile device, I made an HTML & CSS template using the first chapter of Olaf Stapledon’s Star Maker as example text and the Georgia typeface.

Here’s the HTML and CSS code, and here's a preview image:
