Miscellaneous Web Design Info

janastas — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:01:47 +0000

Use 960px wide and 500 px height for viewable area of web page above the
fold.

Most displays have resolutions above 1024×768.

960px is ideal because it allows for the border and scrollbar, and is
divisible by 3,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,15,16

CSS sites and patterns

Create a morgue file of other sites assets and designs so that you can
refer to later. Tools like OneNote and
EverNote can help you with that.

Expansive (tall) footers are in style now. Include more navigation links, contact
information, copyright info, essential links, terms and conditions, links to
Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Fluid layouts take advantage of min-width and max-width properties of CSS

Wireframes are mostly black and white with some color and graphics. They are used to help show the design of a
page to the customer.

Add white to a color to give it a ‘tint’.
Add black to a color to give it a ‘shade’. Add gray to a color to make it dull or
muted.

RGB is additive model for color.
CMYK is subtractive model for color.

Color schemes

http://colorschemedesigner.com
Adobe Kuler

Safe list of fonts for the web include: Arial, Arial Black, Courier New, Impact,
Times New Roman, Georgia, Trebuchet MS and Verdana.

CSS3 http://css3please.com

Free images on stock.xchng http://www.sxc.hu

Avoid using clipart for websites.
Avoid linking out to other people’s websites to see their images.

Morguefile website http://www.morguefile.com

IStockphoto and Flickr are good sources of photos – you need to pay to
get quality and be legal.

Use pattern attribute on input elements in forms to help force entry of
data. Here are some examples:

Country code: type=”text” name=”country_code”
pattern=”[A-z]{3}” title=”Three letter country code”
/>

Password: type=”text” name=”password” pattern=”\S {610,}” title=”password of length 6 to 10 with
non-space chars ” />
