Making Your Site Printable: Booster Conference

I’ve had the pleasure of designing and improving WordPress websites for companies researching and treating neurological diseases and cancer. Their work is profoundly important, but it can be obscured by poor web design and usability. They don’t understand the value of usability, the need to be mobile responsive, or the importance of upgrades and security. Even seemingly minor improvements could make major differences when educating their prospective patients, or attracting doctors, scientists, and investors. And lives can truly be affected as a result of a better website. I’ll talk about my experiences improving these companies’ websites, some common usability mistakes, and best practices and techniques you can use for other websites, no matter what the industry.

This document outlines the tools included in The Coding Designer's Survival Kit, which provides designers with markup, CSS, and JavaScript tools for designing websites in the browser. The kit includes HTML5 Boilerplate, elements and pages to design for, Modernizr and Selectivizr, JavaScript tools like Lettering.js, and Sass/Compass mixins. Using these tools allows designers to play with CSS, work parts of designs out in Photoshop while speaking CSS natively, and ask questions that Photoshop alone does not. Resources like Hardboiled Web Design, CSS3 for Web Designers, and Responsive Web Design are also recommended.

The document discusses the benefits of designing websites directly in HTML and CSS in the browser rather than first designing in Photoshop. It notes that designing in the browser means the designer is working in the actual medium, everything they design can be built because they are building it, and the client sees the real design from the start. Some tips provided include using frameworks for layouts, starting with content, embracing progressive enhancement, and using advanced CSS techniques while allowing for older browsers.

This document discusses how to build websites that look good on high pixel density displays like the iPhone 4's Retina display. It recommends using responsive design so the site looks good on all devices. It also recommends using CSS3 properties instead of images when possible, optimizing images by creating higher resolution versions, and using media queries or SVG to serve the appropriate image based on the device's pixel density. The document stresses testing websites on different devices and prioritizing the platforms your users visit most.

As designers we are often lured into the temptations of bad photoshop practices. We’re designing in the moment and don’t think about the consequences. But the reality is your clients’ requests to make a design more ‘edgy’ will lead to many extra hours of theming if not done right. The seemingly endless rounds of revisions caused by “I know it when I see it” type feedback, will take so much longer when you’re using the wrong tools. Following ‘The 10 Commandments of Photoshop Mockups’ will get you well on your way to eternal designer bliss.

The document provides an overview of designing Drupal themes. It discusses common tools used to design themes such as Photoshop, Fireworks, and Illustrator. It also discusses Drupal-specific tools like Firebug and the Theme Developer module. The presentation covers designing for Drupal concepts like regions, blocks, and views. It provides examples of existing Drupal themes and recommendations for naming conventions, image preparation, CSS organization, and common theme techniques like CSS resets and menu placement.

The document discusses themes in Drupal, including what a theme is, the roles of different types of themers, and the typical components and files that make up a Drupal theme. It provides recommendations for software and modules that are useful for theming, and resources for themers to reference when working on themes. The document is intended as an introduction and overview of theming for Drupal.

The document provides information on key principles of information architecture for website design. It discusses the importance of clear navigation, structure and priorities on the initial page to help users understand what the site is about and how to use it. Specific guidelines covered include using a clear logo, corporate identity and branding elements, proper use of negative space and grids to structure content, and ensuring important information is placed above the website fold for visibility. The document emphasizes that following principles of usability and information architecture helps users easily find what they need and reduces frustration, which is important for customer satisfaction and sales.

As web developers, we might not always have experience or training with principles of design. This presentation's goal is introduce some basic design principles and provide some resources to help developers create better designs or at least become more aware of design. Finally, the end of the presentation will introduce Bootstrap 3 in more of a workshop format. I'll show people who to add Bootstrap to their project and how easy it is to apply some basic design.

This document discusses CSS for mobile platforms. It notes that approximately 15% of internet traffic is now from mobile devices, with Mobile Safari holding a 67% usage share. It discusses two approaches to mobile CSS: using a separate style sheet for mobile or adding additional rules in the same style sheet. It provides examples of CSS properties that are useful for mobile like viewport, background-size, gradients, and rgba colors. It outlines best practices like reducing assets, using CSS instead of images, hiding non-essential elements, using native fonts, simplifying layouts, and reordering content. It also lists some real world examples and additional resources for mobile CSS.

Avada is a responsive design theme for WordPress that provides a flexible and customizable framework. It has many features like premade page templates, one page scrolling, parallax effects, ecommerce functionality, and shortcodes. Both coders and non-coders can use Avada due to its simple menus, layout options, and built-in plugins. The theme also offers robust support through its documentation, forums, and quick ticket responses.

This document summarizes Joshua Jamison's presentation on advanced styling and skinning in Android. It discusses layouts, styles, themes, common styles for buttons, images, tabs and dialogs. It also covers colors, strings, drawables, 9-patch images, and XML drawables. The presentation provided resources for further information.

The document discusses the benefits of designing websites directly in the browser using HTML and CSS rather than designing first in Photoshop. It argues that designing in the browser results in more accurate and web-native designs that are buildable because the design is being built as it is designed. It provides tips for getting started with designing in the browser such as using frameworks for layouts, embracing progressive enhancement, and anticipating how the design will be implemented with content management systems like Drupal.

Responsive web design (RWD) allows web pages to adapt to different screen sizes. There are three main components: a flexible grid, flexible images, and CSS media queries. Media queries apply different styles depending on screen width and features. Designers create breakpoints for layout changes and optimize content hierarchy, typography, navigation, and other elements for different screen sizes through testing on actual devices.

This document discusses shortcuts and techniques for overcoming challenges in Drupal theming and design workflows. It recommends starting with a stripped-down Zen starter theme, using CSS frameworks like Blueprint for layout, and leveraging browser debugging tools and Drupal modules like Devel and Admin for theme development. The document also briefly mentions using Sass/Compass for CSS preprocessing.
