This was a very informative video, thank you. I subscribed to the channel and also the mailing list. Looking forward to learning. Would you mind sharing what software program you are using in the background when designing these pages? Thank you!
Noob developers gets flashy and over the top, good developers get product or service creative, an excellent developer gives the client just what they want.
Dude, that was mine blowing! Thank you for putting this content out there. I'm just starting out in web design and giving me a glimpse of how you think like a designer is super valuable!
Stumbled upon your video, and wow I love it! You are very talented, have a great voice and describing what you do and why. New subscriber :) Best, Sandro
I checked your channel, from what i observed as a founder , you put effort in providing strategic approaches to mitigating a design flaw, to be able to understand and interpret such things requires a blended mind of an artist and a critic, and you seem to have that! keep your approach like this and i hope your content rockets someday!
Some good ideas here, but you've glossed over several critical considerations. First, what about mobile? How will these designs translate to a phone screen? It is safe to assume that at least 1/2 of your audience will view your website on a phone. Getting something to look good at 1920x1080 is a lot easier than making the same thing work at 320px wide. Especially when you have text over an image. Speaking of which, your second big oversight is accessibility. In many cases, your designs produce text that is completely unreadable due to really poor contrast, especially when over an image. Finally, turning design to functional code could be a challenge. Some of these designs are not the most resilient. If something is slightly off, or if the text is a bit longer than in the comp, the visual balance goes out the window. I think what you've shown has a lot of value, but please spend a bit more time to create accessible, mobile-friendly design comps that a developer can work with.
Wow very talented designer. One thing I don't agree though is letting the social icons on the nav because you surely don't want people to leave your website.
Thanks for this quality of content, I'd like to know or I don't know if you already have a video explaining typography for different viewports. I'm a frontend developer and usually the objects tend to change depending on the viewport, so how should the typography be treated ? I've implemented in some cases Fluid Typography but not sure how to do it the right way. Thanks for your content.
Great question! Six columns is the most you’ll ever need in practice, but having a reference number for 12 columns is useful for keeping your design consistent when you use 2 or 4 columns. So you can choose a width for your 6 column layout and then divide that number by two to get your 12 column width. Then multiply that number by 2, 3, or 4 when making those columns. So if that number is 64px then 4 columns would be 256px. The twelve column model is great for creating a “design system”, which is a standard you’ll use on your website even though most websites will never use twelve columns. Hope this was helpful, if you’d like more clarification let me know
