Flexible / liquid layouts in pixels, em or percentages
I’ll admit it. I dislike flexible width designs. I like the fact that everything is scaled how it was intended when it was designed in fixed width designs. But sometimes you need to have a flexible width, and credit where credit is due, this guy has made some great examples of how to do it without hacks, trickery, javascript or anything else that will slow down your page.
A good start – setting up xhtml and css files for your design
Over the last years I’ve been making a lot of XTHML/CSS site implementations. Every design is different, but I’ve learned that over time I have a good starting point for the css styles and html. This goes especially for designs with a content box with shadows, and a body background, with the content box positioned in the center of the page. Take a look in my portfolio, many of the designs are like that.
So I want to share this “pleasant” start, with some explanations.
Genialt.no – my lovely host
Genialt is the name of my host. It started out as a project of a classmate of mine back in the schooldays, turned into a proper company, and nowadays it’s run by his brother. They needed a fresher page and look. So I made a logo, some businesscards and the website for them. They’ve hosted my pages for years, and I really recommend their services if you need a domain or webhotel.
