Recently I had to go through the WordPress themes for iPhone apps for a client. Surprisingly there aren’t many available and not all are really great.

The web design community is mostly dominated by U.S. based web design companies and designers. It does make sense considering that English is the first language of the world. Designers from other countries may prefer to join communities in their own language, which keeps them from a larger crowd. I decided to list a couple [...]

This week a selection of business card tutorials and templates. The days that we only had a phone number to give are long gone. With Twitter, Facebook, weblogs, emails and the old fashioned phone number, everyone should carry a business card. Actually you should carry more than one, one for professional purposes and one for [...]

It’s time again for a fresh batch of popular and lesser known icons. If you regularly create a lot of websites, you can’t have enough icons in your resource folder. My favorite sets are always those that are minimalist and contain off beat icons that are not web related. On this list my preference goes [...]

Following the last two posts on forms, I’m now listing 10 fresh HTML and CSS templates. They are ideal for implementing a modern form, while not all templates listed here are HTML5, you can replace the old doctype for the newest, <!DOCTYPE html>, supporting HTML5. After all remember that the new doctype is backwards compatible. [...]

With the increasing better support from browsers for CSS we can rely more on code for content presentation. I noticed that a lot of websites don’t look farther then the design and typography. It’s good practice to include images with your articles and weblog entries. But many people don’t think about enhancing photos and using [...]

With a new year it is time to give my personal weblog an update. First I just wanted to re-align my current design, but once I opened Photoshop I decided to start from scratch. I bought Pictos font a while ago and I downloaded a free font from The League of Movable Type. If you follow my postings you know I’m a fan of minimalism.
