Building Websites With Tilda (Full Review)Building Websites With Tilda (Full Review) Nick Babich 2018-09-25T13:30:00+02:00 2018-09-25T11:38:17+00:00 (This is a sponsored article.) The modern web is very unified. Designers use the same patterns, and, as a result, websites created by different people look like clones. The only way to stand out from the crowd is via content. Content is what brings people to your website in the first place. Tilda is a website builder that can be used to create websites, landing pages, online stores and special projects. Tilda’s creators practice a “content-first” philosophy: Content precedes design. Being big fans of storytelling,...

Dark Patterns And Other Design No-Nos For MobileDark Patterns And Other Design No-Nos For Mobile Suzanne Scacca 2018-09-24T14:00:18+02:00 2018-09-24T20:02:24+00:00 When it comes to making money, some companies will do whatever it takes to get people inside their establishment. But does that kind of business tactic even work? In my opinion, if you have to lie or trick your consumers into a sale, well then, that won’t obviously work! You might be able to attract a good amount of foot traffic (and even make some sales from the deceitful strategy), but let’s look at the big picture. If traffic levels won’t sustain and you’re handling more refunds than sales, the a...

The typeface Gotham is one of the most popular sans-serifs in circulation. Designed at the turn of the millennium by Tobias Frere-Jones for the Hoefler & Co. type foundry, it is based on the basic letterforms that Frere-Jones saw in use on buildings around Manhattan, in signage and architectural lettering. The quintessentially American feeling in the design has resulted in the typeface’s use in countless branding projects—Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, and Saturday Night Live, as well as many other household names have adopted Gotham. Described by Hoefler & Co. simply as, “What letters look like” it’s the typeface’s modernity, honesty, and assuredness that make it so popular. As with many typefaces, with great popularity com...

In this article, I’ll cover the process of data visualization with the Webix JavaScript UI Library. The most convenient and intuitive form of visualized data is, naturally, a chart.

There's a wide variety of components from a simple button to the SpreadSheet Widget that can be used for developing Excel-like office web applications. Besides the UI components collection, there’s an event handling mechanism, offline mode support, and a bunch of development tools. For example, you can create your own skins using the Skin Builder, use the visual designer for drag-and-drop UI creation, or experiment with the code in o...

Visual Studio Live Share Can Do That?Visual Studio Live Share Can Do That? Burke Holland 2018-09-19T13:30:17+02:00 2018-09-19T11:39:28+00:00 A few months ago, Microsoft released its free Visual Studio (VS) Live Share service. VS Live Share is Google Docs level collaboration for code. Multiple developers can collaborate on the same file at the same time without ever leaving their own editor. After the release of Live Share, I realized that many of us have resigned ourselves to being isolated in our code and we’re not even aware that there are better ways to work with a service like VS Live Share. This is partly because we are stuck in old habits and partly beca...

Welcome to our roundup of the best websites launched (or relaunched with major updates) in the last four weeks. September marks the beginning of Fall in the northern hemisphere, and reflecting that change, we’re seeing fewer light, airy, minimal designs, and more rich, warm, comforting designs. There’s been a flood of new design agency sites, and a ton of new season fashion sites launched this month—we’ve included the best. You’ll also find some great photography and lots for lovers of typography. Enjoy! Critical Mass Critical Mass is one of those design agencies you’d just love to work for. Their new site is a homage to themselves, telling a success story from their roots in Calgary, to 11 different offices around the world, with some exceptional work along the way.
