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 best is always to have a theme designed specially for your app, but time and budget can play you parts. Not everyone has a big budget to develop [...]
Time again for some fresh icons and fonts. This week you’ll find listed here five different icons; hand drawn, social,, for the cloud, android and credit cards. A couple of them are vector only which gives you more control over the size and color. For the fonts choice this week we are going grunge. Since [...]
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 [...]
Since the introduction of the ‘Like’ button the use of Facebook pages by companies, brands, etc. has increased immensely. Facebook has a limit on amount of friends one can have and if you surpase that amount you need to to switch your account to a page. With pages you can add your personal design inside [...]
Following Mondays post on WordPress Themes White Edition, there is today, Tumblr Themes Grey and White Edition. Even though Tumblr is still struggling with down time, the service popularity hasn’t decreased a bit. With the enormous offer of themes available, it’s hard to make your Tumblr look like MySpace. But not everyone has a good [...]
One can never get tired of WordPress themes or have too many of them ready to use. I collected a fresh batch of WordPress themes, most of them are very recent. They all work with WordPress 3 and these ones are all white. Now that Jetpack plug-in was released for self-hosted WordPress sites, theme makers [...]
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 [...]
In May last year I published The Best Minimal WordPress Themes. Since I can never get enough of minimal design or WordPress themes, I’m publishing a part two. This time they are all free and most of them for weblogs and one is light gray instead of white. Enjoy these ‘new’ old themes, and I [...]
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.
