Designs, LLC 2012-02-03 Aaron Gustafson For all intents and purposes, “HTML5” has become a meaningless catch-all marketing phrase defining a platform rather than a specification. It’s “DHTML” all over again. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/02/03/html5-is-the-new-dhtml/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/02/03/html5-is-the-new-dhtml/ 2012-02-03T09:01:23-05:00 Fri, 3 Feb 2012 09:01:23 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Last week I shared a link about progressive enhancement for mobile on Forrst and it elicited quite a reaction from one reader which, in turn, prompted a lengthy response from me. I thought it was a conversation worth archiving here. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/01/09/progressive-enhancement-vs.-hardboiled-design/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2012/01/09/progressive-enhancement-vs.-hardboiled-design/ 2012-01-09T11:27:14-05:00 Mon, 9 Jan 2012 11:27:14 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Google’s over-engineering of the G+ button led us to drop support for G+ sharing when we re-launched the mobile-first version of this blog. We’ve anabled it now thanks to some help from the code spelunkers at TechLifeWeb. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/16/javascript-less-google-finally/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/16/javascript-less-google-finally/ 2011-12-16T12:03:29-05:00 Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:03:29 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Do you hear that sound? That’s right Johnny, it’s the sound of millions of web professionals breathing a collective sigh of relief. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/15/an-end-to-aging-ie-installs/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/15/an-end-to-aging-ie-installs/ 2011-12-15T15:34:06-05:00 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:34:06 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson After a whirlwid trip to 4 countries, I am back to a rock-solid internet connection and got a moment to take a breath and post my slides from the first stop on the trip: Beyond Tellerrand in Düsseldorf, Germany. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/12/crafting-rich-experiences-with-progressive-enhancement-at-beyond-telle/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/12/12/crafting-rich-experiences-with-progressive-enhancement-at-beyond-telle/ 2011-12-12T17:05:05-05:00 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:05:05 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson In the past few months, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time discussing the differences between the “adaptive” and “responsive” web design philosophies. Don’t get me wrong, I love having these discussions, but I felt the need to set the record straight: these two philosophies are not at odds. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/11/16/on-adaptive-vs-responsive-web-design/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/11/16/on-adaptive-vs-responsive-web-design/ 2011-11-16T13:23:41-05:00 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:23:41 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson I just finished Day 1 of Future of Web Design here in NYC and wanted to post my slides before I crashed for the night. Enjoy! http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/11/07/slides-from-fowd-nyc-2011/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/11/07/slides-from-fowd-nyc-2011/ 2011-11-07T23:23:52-05:00 Mon, 7 Nov 2011 23:23:52 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson This past week, Kelly and I were in Brooklyn for the ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter conference. We had a great time, met some awesome people, and I got to talk about my favorite topic: progressive enhancement. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/25/progressive-enhancement-and-expressionengine/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/25/progressive-enhancement-and-expressionengine/ 2011-10-25T08:17:46-05:00 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:17:46 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson You may not have noticed, but we just turned this blog on it’s head, design-wise. Those of you browsing on something other than a desktop browser should now be enjoying a much better reading experience. Here’s what’s changed and how we did it. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/12/from-mobile-friendly-to-mobile-first/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/10/12/from-mobile-friendly-to-mobile-first/ 2011-10-12T06:33:12-05:00 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 06:33:12 -05:00 Aaron Gustafson Many companies have gone the route of maintaining a separate “mobile friendly” website. If you choose to do so, make sure you don’t lose customers when redirecting them from one site to another. http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/09/29/on-redirecting-mobile-traffic/ http://blog.easy-designs.net/archives/2011/09/29/on-redirecting-mobile-traffic/ 2011-09-29T06:24:34-05:00 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 06:24:34 -05:00
