Some of these sites you may have already visted, and if that is the case, rock on, but I just wanted to point out some great resources that everyone should go visit.
1. I have been thumbing through this site’s extensinve list of links for a few days now and there are great resources everyone should check out. Go visit Bookmarks for web-designers and web developers.
2. I have also really enjoyed Design Melt Down. The site displays tons of great examples of design elements, trends and problems. It also gives actual examples from other sites where you can view these design trends, and resources like books, patterns, and images where you could mirror the examples.
3. Wiki Soxiam has a beautiful list of css tools with categories such as:
- css based design galleries
- css based layouts
- css based boxes
- css based menus, lists and navigation
- css and form elements
- css image replacement techniques
- css optimization techniques
- css browser support, bugs and hacks
and just some general css links. I stongly recommend this list of css resources.
4. CSS Tweak is a site where you can paste in your css code or upload it and it will reformat it, hopefully cutting down your file size. And it will tell you in percentages, just how much smaller your file size is from your original one. You can remove whitespace, and tweak things like fonts, backgrounds, borders, lists, comments etc. Go check it out.
5. Gray Bit is an online accessibility tool where you can enter in your url (or any url ) and experience a greyscale rendition of it. It helps show the page’s preceived contrast.
