Designers are using their creativity and adding personality. They’re proving that notifications can have both form and function. With that, let’s take a look at eight unique notification UIs.

3 days ago Remember the screech of dial-up internet? Hold fond memories of arcade machines? In this list, we’re condensing down 30 pieces of revolutionary technology that have long past their sell-by-date.

From pagers and portable DVD players to floppy discs and Adobe Flash, we’re going to take a trip down memory lane and look at 30 of the inventions that paved the way for the innovations of today. Let’s get into the list. 1. Pagers Back in the 1980s, pagers were all the rage. These little devices used to vibrate to let you know someone was trying to get in touch.

The Grumpy Designer Ponders What It Means To ‘Learn’ AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is just starting to impact society. But that hasn’t stopped people from making bold proclamations. I’m particularly fond of the Doomsday scenarios. You know, the very darkest of sci-fi fantasies. The possibility of working for a machine sounds modern. I wonder how well it pays? Then there’s the idea that we must “learn” AI. The term “prompt engineer” has been thrown around. This one sounds perfect for a grumpy designer! It also seems like a job with a short shelf life. We used to write code to direct a computer. But now we tell it what to do. It’s less work for more money. Who wouldn’t want this job? But seriously. What should web designers learn about AI? Do we need to learn anything at all? I have a few unscientific ideas. Just take them with a grain of salt....

The Unpredictable Life of a Freelance Web Designer

I’ve been a freelance web designer since 1999. And I know where I’ll be most days. I’m usually here at my desk, plugging away at projects. But that’s where the predictability ends. That’s because my to-do list is subject to change. One request from a client can disrupt everything. No matter how much I plan. My schedule is in a constant state of flux. I’ve learned to accept the situation. Or have I? A recent tweet made me think about how unpredictable my days are. And I’m not the only one dealing with uncertainty. Other freelancers have shared their frustrations as well. Sometimes web designers need to shift gears faster than a Ferrari. That’s just reality. So, how do we cope with it? And what can we do to lessen the need? Here are a few thoughts on dealing with an unpredictable life. No Ro...

How to Design Websites that Communicate Across Cultures

The idea of a single website reaching millions of people worldwide is thrilling. However, in practice, it’s often the case that a website may be popular in some countries but not in others, unless it’s a global sensation. So, is it possible to design a website that appeals to various countries? Yes, it is. By adhering to certain fundamental guidelines, you can increase the likelihood of your website attracting readers from different linguistic backgrounds. 1. Clarify Your Website’s Purpose One of the biggest mistakes a content provider can make is to venture into various markets with a product that lacks a clear identity and, as a result, fails to communicate a precise message. If your website’s purpose isn’t immediately apparent, it’s unlikely that international internet users will inves...

Here’s What It Was like to Build a Website in the 90s

I’m still fascinated by all aspects of the 1990s. Coming of age during the decade is a big reason why. But there’s more to the story. The 90s were also a golden age for technology as well. The personal computer made its way into the mainstream. And so did the World Wide Web. As such, I started toying with web design during this period. Building a website in those days was undeniably different. The web design industry was nascent – if it existed at all. Standards and best practices were still years away. Web designers had to adapt existing tools for this new medium. We made a lot of mistakes. But that’s OK. The lessons learned in that era have brought us to the present. What was it like to build a website back in the day? Here are a few observations based on my experiences. One obstacle doe...

8 CSS & JavaScript Snippets for Creating Blur Effects

Adding blur effects is a surefire way to make a surrounding design element stand out. For example, adding a bit of haziness to a background photo will draw attention to the layered text on top.

Elon Musk calls LinkedIn ‘Cringe’—Announces…

It seems we can’t go for one week without talking about Elon Musk, but the news simply writes itself. In a recent post, The Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI owner announced his intentions to compete with LinkedIn by incorporating job listings into X (formerly Twitter). In trademark Musk fashion, the Twitter boss told his followers he couldn’t use LinkedIn because its ​‘cringe level is so high’. Presumably, this reveals that Musk believes his own ​‘cringe levels’ to be remarkably low in comparison. Whatever you say, Elon. In the tweet, Musk also announced that he would make the X competitor to LinkedIn ​‘cool’. It’s impossible to predict what this entails.  Perhaps Musk’s idea of cool is making his job site look dark, edgy, and brooding, much like the recent white stains he incorporated into the X lo...

The Evolution of the iMac 1998–2023

In this post, we’ll look back at the story of the iMac, from its audacious birth to its impact on popular culture. We’ll cover its leaps in performance, its innovation, and the way it saved Apple from bankruptcy and made it the number one tech company on earth. Whether you’ve been a fan for the last quarter century or just appreciate a good redemption story, there’s a chapter of the iMac’s history for you. But let’s start, like all good stories, at the beginning. The Birth of the iMac, 1998 – 2001 Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 after a long hiatus. The break allowed him to realize something fundamental – computers shouldn’t just be functional but attractive and user-friendly. The essence of Apple was always about melding technology with the liberal arts, creating products that not on...

Essential WordPress Block Theme Features for Web Designers

Web designers working with WordPress have always had options. There is a myriad of ways to build a quality website. It’s all about finding the right fit for your needs. That’s why the newfangled world of block themes has been disruptive. They’re different than classic themes. They don’t rely as heavily on PHP. And then there’s the whole concept of using JSON to define styles and options. Block themes do come with advantages, however. Using one may mean writing fewer lines of code. And a block-based approach means not having to reinvent the wheel. That’s because many layout and functionality features come standard with WordPress. The number of available block themes is increasing. But not all are ideal for web designers. We need flexibility and easy customization. With that in mind, let’s c...

WordPress Dashboard: Removing Unwanted Widgets

Your website’s command center, the WordPress dashboard, arrives with several widgets that enhance functionality. However, not all of these may be beneficial for every user.

WordPress offers the ability to remove these unnecessary widgets, either manually or programmatically. We’ll guide you through both of these methods, aiding in decluttering your dashboard and promoting better website management.

How To Write a UX Case Study That Wins More Work

To maximize your chances of landing a job or client, including information about your work in a case study is essential. This article provides some practical tips on what to include and how to format your document for maximum impact. Regardless of your experience level, this information will be invaluable. In most cases, your case studies will be primarily visual. So it’s vital that you keep design revisions and screenshots of different aspects of the projects you work on as they evolve. Many designers like to keep a work diary, or journal, separate from a sketch pad, in which they can jot down their thought processes from the day. This helps immensely when you revisit a project to create a case study. By breaking away from a purely visual approach to portfolios, you can construct the stor...

Discovering the Freedoms of Freelance Web Design

People tend to assume a lot of things about freelance web designers. I’ve spent over half of my life being one. And I think I’ve heard them all. Among the greatest hits: “If you get tired of working, you can go watch TV.” “Wow, I bet you could hit the golf course every day.” “Life without a boss!” “You can sleep as much as you want.” I could go on. But you get the idea. The common thread is that they all relate to a perceived freedom. And you can’t blame people for assuming. Freedom is one of the big selling points of this career path. But that’s not the type of freedom I’ve experienced. It got me thinking about the realities and how they differ from the perceptions. Just what type of freedoms come with freelancing? And what are the costs and limitations? The Freedom of a Personalized Work...

Mastering The Product Design Process

To guarantee the success of any digital project, its design approach must match up to the specific issues it faces. Successful product design approaches tend to follow an iterative model. Once problems are identified, draft solutions, and test their viability before going back through these cycles to refine. Many successful products experience multiple iteration cycles before taking their final form. Process requirements depend upon project type and context; groundbreaking products might necessitate more extensive preliminary research than products available to existing markets; nonetheless, having a structured framework in place can ensure products reach their potential.

Advice for Being a Good Design Mentor

The web design community is supportive and giving. Being a part of it is a perk of the job. Many members are willing to share their knowledge and help others. Mentoring is part of the tradition. But we don’t necessarily seek out these opportunities. They tend to happen organically. As such, it can be a challenge to advise another designer. You want to make a positive impact. Yet it’s also important to respect boundaries. Nobody wants to become a nuisance or overbearing. The goal is to help others find their way. Provide sound advice and give them the benefit of your experience. It’s a foundation they can build upon. That’s what being a good design mentor is all about.

How to Limit Post Revisions in WordPress

Optimizing your WordPress workflow often involves tweaking a few settings and functions. One of these features is post revisions. This built-in functionality can be a lifesaver, especially when you want to revert changes or restore an earlier version of a post. However, having an excessive number of revisions can be overwhelming and may clutter your database. We’ll guide you through the steps to limit post revisions in WordPress, without turning to specific plugins. Understanding WordPress Post Revisions Post revisions, a core feature of WordPress, allows you to undo changes and revert to previous versions of your posts or pages.

The social media organization revealed its new update in a post on Monday. Reddit’s overarching goal is to make it easier for those coming to the platform for the first time to find engaging, relevant content. To bring this plan to fruition, Reddit has simplified the search page by introducing a new layout.

Now, the search results will prioritize posts over all other elements, making it more straightforward for logged-out users to find interesting content.

How to Deal with Clients That Have Outsized Expectations

Clients have big ideas for their websites. It’s an opportunity to build something special. But web designers don’t always share the same level of enthusiasm. That’s not because we don’t want to help clients achieve their goals. It’s because we understand the reality of how challenging a project can be. A great website requires skill, hard work, and resources to do things right. Clients don’t always consider this. Sometimes they don’t know what’s involved. Or they assume that we’ll figure out the details on the fly. This can result in a disconnect between stakeholders. The design and build processes become anything but collaborative. Worst of all, it puts the project outcome at risk. So, how do you deal with clients that have outsized expectations? You can start by providing a reality check...

Initially, there was perverse enjoyment in watching an incredibly privileged person held to their word, lose a few billion, and get humbled a little.

Musk, who owns SpaceX, and recently launched xAI, has been seeking a side project for his x.com domain name — which, to be fair, is a cool domain — and it looks like he’s found one in the social-network-formerly-known-as-Twitter. Musk has been talking up a ​“do everything” app for some time and suggested that Twitter was a useful stepping stone before he acquired the platform in March.

OpenAI Accused of Data Theft in California

AI technology allows users to input a few words or phrases and generate output with a level of sophistication that is startlingly similar to human language. ChatGPT is currently the most successful attempt to code human language simulation, and companies such as Microsoft and Adobe are tapping into its potential to refine their products. However, ChatGPT scrapes the web to teach itself, examining content written by humans, and attempting to define logical rules that will allow it to regurgitate the text in a fresh format. The California lawsuit alleges: violation of the Communications Privacy act; violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act; violation of the California Invasion of Privacy act; violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, Business and Professions code; violation of...

The Desktop Features You Should Consider Leaving Out on Mobile

In web design, there is a time and place for features that “wow” users. Jaw-dropping animations, complex graphical effects, and immersive multimedia are a few items that come to mind. These elements can enhance the user experience (UX). However, one size does not fit all. People consume the web in different ways. There are various screen sizes and connection speeds to consider. Thus, what produces smiles for one user may result in a headache for others. That’s why it can be hard to duplicate desktop experiences on mobile devices. Some elements may translate perfectly. But others could be cumbersome. It’s here where designers must choose between refactoring or removing the feature. Today, we’ll take a look at some desktop features that you should consider leaving out on mobile. Generally sp...

A New Way of Thinking About White Space

Ask any web designer, and they’ll tell you about their personal views on white space. Numerous designers who embrace minimalism have utilized white space extensively in their web design content. They might assert, “Less is more,” having been trained to remove anything that does not directly and meaningfully contribute to the user experience. Behind the scenes, white space also reigns as a design philosophy, with clean, elegant code being the sought-after ideal for functional web design. However, I’ve observed that some designers don’t truly grasp what white space is, or how to interpret it in less obvious ways to fully leverage this concept. 5 Tips to Simplify Your Web Design 5 Tips to Simplify Your Web Design No matter how hard you try, you can't make your work look like Ap...

There have been several false starts for VR/​AR headsets. Google Glass was officially retired in March, and HTC’s Vive makes you look, and feel, like a Borg.

That’s a big part of the reason so many designers are stripping down menus to more minimal styles. (Plus, it can create a cleaner, more sleek overall design.) Here’s what’s trending in design this month – and it is all about navigation. 1. Pop-Out Navigation There’s an obvious connection to mobile-friendliness here – website designs that use pop-out navigation for all screen resolutions and device sizes.  This is something that we probably wouldn’t have recommended a few years ago, but users have become increasingly comfortable with this navigation style because of how popular it has become on mobile device sizes.  The commonality in this navigation element is often a hamburger-style menu. The icon is often in the top right corner, with a logo in the left corner. This preferred user patter...

How No-Code Tools Disrupt the Design Process

Like many web designers, I’m a fan of routine. I like having a set process for getting things done. And crafting a design can greatly benefit from this practice. For me, it starts with opening my favorite design tools. From there, I experiment with color and typography. Complimentary images are chosen to enhance the look. Layouts are built and refined. The result is (hopefully) good enough to share with clients. After a few revisions, it’s time to build. However, technology is starting to blur the lines between designing and building. No-code tools like the WordPress Site Editor are throwing a wrench into the process. It’s now possible to handle design while building a website. This method may be a boon for efficiency. But it may also lead to reduced originality in design. It might even di...

However, it is mandatory to balance between colors that are too light or too dark, as this can negatively affect readability.

Using the Power of AI in Web Development

The idea of AI in web development is as old as the hills. Even in ancient Greek myths, we can meet such creations as Pandora and the bronze giant automaton Talos. The great philosophers René Descartes and Gottfried Leibniz explored the concept of mechanized reasoning. An English mathematician, Alan Turing formulated the idea of a "universal machine" in 1936. Later in his scientific work, he suggested that the difference between human and artificial intelligence can be proven with a simple test. This "Turing Test" assesses a computer's ability to imitate a human, and is based on an assessment by a third party (examiner) who cannot see the machine (or the person taking the test), but asks written questions. In the last decades, we can witness a high jump in the development of artificial inte...

WordPress Offers Two Very Different Paths: That’s a Good Thing

WordPress has evolved steadily. It has added significant features, while somehow maintaining familiarity. But much of the user and developer experiences are based on our choices. Do we go with a battle-tested classic theme or opt for a newfangled block theme? Do we embrace the Block Editor or stick with the trusty Classic flavor? These are defining decisions. They chart a path for how we work with the content management system (CMS). And they influence everything from how we build a website to how content is created. You might even say they’re distinctly different experiences. Here’s why I hope it stays that way. Flexibility To Fit Any Type of Project Flexibility has long been a strength of WordPress.

In this article, we’ll explore how to use CSS to maintain the aspect ratio of a div as the window’s width changes. To achieve this, we’ll use the padding hack. The padding hack is a technique that uses a percentage value for padding-top or padding-bottom to maintain the aspect ratio of an element. The percentage value is calculated based on the width of the parent element. As the width of the parent element changes, the padding value will adjust to maintain the aspect ratio of the child element.

AI Tools Are Scraping Your Website. Is That a Good Thing?

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been disruptive. Things are changing rapidly. And it seems like this technology is posing new moral, ethical, and existential questions each day. There are plenty of stories and opinions to choose from. But one recent incident caught my eye. A website owner claimed that their site was being “hammered” by a content scraping bot. The tool img2dataset, catalogs large volumes of images for use in AI tools like Stable Diffusion. The site’s owner opened an issue on the tool’s GitHub repository. He was advised to opt out of scraping. To do so, he’d have to add specific headers to his website. This is our new reality. These tools are grabbing all manner of content – copyrighted images included. They’re regurgitating it to their users. Indeed, it’s the w...

History of WordPress – a 20-Year Journey [INFOGRAPHICS] ⭐MonstersPost

On May 27, 2023, WordPress celebrates its 20th anniversary. TemplateMonster invites the community to dive into WordPress history and see how it grew and developed. Celebrate WordPress's 20th Anniversary with TemplateMonsterHow the History of WordPress Started The story of WordPress started in 2003 when the young American blogger Matt Mullenweg posted in his blog the article “The Blogging Software Dilemma”, where he submitted the idea to use b2/cafelog code to fork the software. At that moment the program code of that platform hadn’t been updated for a long time. It was the main reason for the dilemma.  Fortunately, b2/cafelog used open-source licensing and Matt decided to make another branch of the software that was based on the old version (forking business). 2003 - First Version Was Re...

Better Design and Testing for Mobile Viewport Madness

These days, every website we build must be responsive. With mobile web usage accounting for over half of all traffic, catering to these users is a no-brainer. Thankfully, foundational technologies like CSS and JavaScript have made this easier. Web designers no longer need nonstandard hacks or separate mobile templates. Modern layout and document object model (DOM) manipulation techniques allow us to build for all devices. Testing your designs on mobile, however, is a different story. Ensuring a pixel-perfect look on every phone, tablet, and hybrid device can be a massive challenge. It doesn’t help that mobile screen resolution is all over the map. In years past, there were a few outliers that defied the expected number of pixels displayed. But now it seems like every smartphone generation ...

Are Ready-made Websites Killing Web Design?

More often than not, you would meet someone who is not as acquainted with the comings and goings of web design and tell you,”I can do the same thing you do, using Squarespace“. To which you might respond with disgust or anger. I mean, it’s not surprising. The advent of ready-made drag-and-drop website building platforms made creating websites so much easier, especially because there is little to no coding required. And as someone whose bread and butter is designing websites, you can’t help but feel sorry. Personally, you wouldn’t want your job to be replaced with an easier way to do stuff, much like how horses were replaced by cars back in the day. Frameworks and CMS are becoming more and more popular too. You have WordPress, Blogger, Drupa; you have Foundation, Bootstrap, and Skeleton; y...

Working with clients is a mixed bag. The experiences you have are valuable. But there’s no guarantee that they’ll be enjoyable. Thankfully, most clients are fair and honest. Yes, some can be difficult to work with. But it’s still possible to form a productive relationship with them. On the other hand, you’ll find the occasional nightmare client. Someone that (intentionally or not) breaks all the rules. They’ll mistreat you, argue about every detail, and generally make a mess of things. I’ve spent over two decades in the web design industry.

Is That Commercial WordPress Plugin a Good Deal?

There are over 60,000 listings in the WordPress plugin repository. And while all are free to use, many offer commercial upgrades. These “pro” versions usually include more robust features and technical support. Free plugins can be quite useful. But inevitably, you’ll run into a scenario where upgrading makes sense. This is particularly relevant when your website relies on a specific plugin for eCommerce or other advanced functionality. The decision to put down your (or your client’s) hard-earned money isn’t always easy, though. Both pricing terms and licensing can vary. It seems like each plugin author has a different strategy.

Then it’s a matter of hammering out an agreement so that you can start your journey together. This sounds easy. But the process can feel like being in a reality show competition.

Be that as it may, WordPress multisite also adds a layer of complexity. That’s especially so when launching a redesign. The larger and more varied the network, the more difficult the process becomes.
