Hi all. I am creating a course on how to design web sites using CSS. (That's a very loose title: it could easily be "How to make your website better..." etc.) It will be a 3-hour short course for people with some experience of web design, aimed at individuals and small businesses, and does not need to go into huge amounts of detail.
I'd like everyone's input into what I should be teaching. I'll cover the 'why', so all I need is the 'what'. My plan so far (in a nutshell): 1) Text structure, use of semantics (refer to the bare CSS Zen Garden site) 2) Typefaces/fonts (styles and relative/absolute sizes) 3) Positioning (reasonably simple: fixed to fit in 800x600 or full screen width) 4) Images (in the design, not the content) 5) Multiple style sheets and switching between them I don't want to get bogged down with designing for different browsers and all the required hacks unless absolutely necessary. I'll probably cover print media style sheets, as I believe a web page should look good on the web as well as on paper. Please remember this is 3 hours maximum, to people who aren't necessarily web designers (or who may not be) and who may not have heard of standards-compliance or Firefox/Opera/Mozilla etc, even though I will be mentioning these a lot. 3 hours will fly by. I realise this is a list consisting of both the CSS elite and the noobs and everyone in between, and I'd like opinions and ideas from all of you! All thoughts and comments welcome. If someone's already done this, save me from reinventing the wheel. Cheers all, Paul. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
