Ask HN: Introduction to web design?
Can anyone recommend a place to find the absolute basics I need to know to create simple, easy-to-use, cross-browser interfaces? I understand the principles behind html/css/js and I've worked on server-side software. Where I fall down is in taking the design in my head and translating it into an actual page. I would prefer to avoid anything aimed at non-programmers because the signal to noise ratio is maddening.
- jokull 17y agoDon't underestimate how ITERATIVE the design process is. Do something then tweak it, then do it again then tweak it. Don't think that everything is ruined and hopeless just because you can't get your ideas down right away. Iterate!
- jamii 17y agoI eventually found http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/169/ http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/169/ This is exactly what I was after - step by step instructions, decisions made for me, gotchas explained. I highly recommend it for anyone else in the same position.
