Where to go for CSS Inspiration
CSS isn't just for designers who support Web standards anymore. The CSS Collection proves that many mainstream businesses have taken the CSS route because it offers faster downloading, more accessibility and easier site updating.
(PRWEB) September 9, 2005 -- While the Web design community has embraced CSS
for layouts, many sites continue to use tables, which are not accessible for
screen readers and handheld devices. The CSS Collection is a testament to what
can be done with CSS instead of tables. At CSSCollection.com, find sites of
every kind from personal sites of several pages to giants like ESPN, Fast
Company and Chevrolet. Designers who are ardent supporters of Web standards and
the Web Standards Project (webstandards.org) aren't the only ones doing
CSS.
This collection is the first list that hit the Internet scene thanks
to Donimo Shriver of Web Nouveau. When Web Nouveau's domain expired, a squatter
took it over and the community wondered what happened.
Using cached
pages, Meryl K. Evans of meryl.net restored the list while trying to contact
Shriver. Eventually, they touched based and he gave his blessing. What's the
news, if this has been around a while? The site, CSSCollection.com, finally got
its own home and domain instead of living as a folder. It's always on the
lookout for well-designed CSS sites and welcomes submissions for
consideration.
Article Ideas:
It's possible for the largest sites to
make the transition from tables to CSS. Look at Inc.com, Unilever, Sprint,
Sydney Morning Herald, San Francisco Examiner, Mercedes-Benz USA, and many
others.
Professional CSS is a book shows how ESPN, The PGA Championship,
Blogger, Fast Company, and The University of Florida evolved to the sites they
are today. The authors share how and why they took the approaches they did with
the sites.
Many CSS resources and showcases are available to help the new
and experienced designer take their skills to the next level.
