Website design for non-designers

Saturday, September 8, 2007 5:00:00 PM

Here's something related to web design for once in a while.

So I've probably spammed my new site, CodeUtopia a bit already, so I won't need to introduce it (as if there was something to tell about it at this point

)

Anyway, the design for the site had three different designs before I ended up liking one enough to start using it for real. There was also a slightly modified revision of design #2, but I ended up liking it the least of all revisions.

Let's see those and some useful pointers related to design.

Problems in tag-based item classification

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 4:56:48 AM

web, design, tags

Most of the people on the net have probably used tags these days. There's del.icio.us which lets you add your bookmarks and categorize them by tags... Opera's blog lets you categorize your posts with tags etc. etc.

Tags are in... but that doesn't mean that they are better in every aspect compared to the traditional hierarchial system.

Web Application design

Tuesday, January 30, 2007 9:15:05 AM

programming, PHP, design

There's a lot of stuff involved in designing a webapp, even a somewhat simple web site.

I've often ended up neglecting proper design and code-reuse etc. in my projects, often due to lack of time. It's much faster to quickly "ducttape" something together, but the tape may break and the system may fall. Not even jesus tape can fix everything in the programming world.

design, source control

When developing things together with other people - be it other programmers, designers or those who create content - some problems appear.

One of the biggest ones is keeping files in sync between users.
