Personally, the only css library I use is the yui css reset/fonts. For actual design work, I like having a picture to work with. We have an artist who generally designs the overall look of the site in some combination of art programs, and after a couple reviews, I'll get started on the basic HTML; build the content without any regard to looks. Once the content is in place, I'll add in the yui css reset/fonts (so useful) and start from scratch adding css to make the site look like the picture. Seems to work out pretty well in the end... -Jerod __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
[css-d] Ways to create css pages
Just a quick question to get some: when you design pages do you do it directly from notepad? I was thinking about the merits of using the dreamweaver tools to design the layout with divs and then get changing the code. Alternatively do people have a stock of templates that they use according to the situation? Thanks - Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please? Perfect.

Just before anyone jumps into this thread, let me just get a couple of things straight. css-discuss is absolutely not the place to discuss the tools that you prefer to use. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. We don't care what editor you use, what scripting language eases your days or what god you pray to when there seems to be no answer to your current css conundrum. That said, whether you maintain libraries and/or snippets of css for reuse from project to project or like to roll your sleeves up afresh each time confronted with a blank slate is very much on topic, so have at it!

That said, whether you maintain libraries and/or snippets of css for reuse from project to project or like to roll your sleeves up afresh each time confronted with a blank slate is very much on topic, so have at it! I've developed the habit of reusing the most recent client's CSS for the next task, and it's led me astray, methinks. Until I realized what I was doing (forced by clients who actually had *opinions*) my sites took on an overwhelming 'sameness' that, when brought to my attention, was embarrassing. On the other hand, I do have bits not quite modularized that I love to reuse. These are going to get catalogued, genericized enough to *be* modules, and plugged and played. At the very least, reuse simplifies my thought processes, and bug fixes when they finally come to light. joel __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
