I can’t get enough podcasts right now. I still love the written word but after a full day of design and code my eyes need a rest (and probably a new test, now that I think about it). Fearing I’d been overlooking a few I asked Twitter — thanks for the replies! Below is a compilation of my favourite […]
When I launched my new website earlier this week I implemented the off-canvas navigation technique I’d written about for Smashing Magazine. It uses silky smooth CSS transitions and looks great on mobile (if I do say so myself). A small problem came when I set a high breakpoint. The navigation is always off-canvas up to a width of 60em (that’s […]
Using SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) on websites is a lot safer than many front-end developers think. Authoring aside — I wouldn’t suggest trying to hand-code an illustration more complex than a triangle* — the standard is well supported in browsers today and perfect for resolution independence when CSS and icon fonts aren’t suitable. * Quick fire question: […]
Welcome to my new website. I haven’t rebranded entirely — what you see bears many similarities to updates past — but I am launching a new stage in my career. 2013 is the year I go freelance. This site now represents my web design and front-end development services. It’s heavily content-centric in design. And responsive, of course! It has a newfound simplicity. That’s not […]
Following last year’s Passenger Focus case study, today I present the Gloople responsive design review. Gloople is an ecommerce platform with emphasis on social and mobile. We designed and built the website at Browser. Please bear in mind this is a beta registration launch. The final site, fully optimised, and the ecommerce platform will arive later this year. Sign […]
Now that I’m officially a self-employed freelancer I plan to blog more frequently. In the past I’ve rarely written very technical articles, but I imagine there are many designer/front-end developer types like me who struggle with this stuff. Tomorrow I’ll post a big responsive design case study, I promise. Today I moved my private code repositories onto Bitbucket […]
In response to my Smashing Magazine article on implementing off-canvas navigation I received a great comment by Michael Benin: https://github.com/benbarnett/jQuery-Animate-Enhanced https://github.com/gnarf37/jquery-requestAnimationFrame Dropping in these two plugins should achieve what is accomplished in this article using CSS, and furthermore will utilize RAF. It would be interesting for you to run the same tests against JS/jQuery with these jQuery plugins. I agreed that these […]
