A new Sunday feature
I've been thinking lately about sharing some of my favorite web design/web marketing sites on my site. I've certainly bookmarked a bunch. Enough, really to make my discoveries a regular Sunday feature, at least for a while. So here's the first batch, this time related to web design.
And all, by the way, are free.
Web Page Analyzer
This one I go to a lot. It's a great resource for finding places on any of your web pages where you can cut down on your load time. Enter the URL you want to analyze and click the button and it will create a report of how effectively your page loads. It will also make recommendations of elements that you can condense or reduce. A great tool for getting a quick idea of how quickly your site is loading for your visitors.
Web Monkey
Want a good tutorial on virtually anything related to building a website? Here's the place to go. Whether you're a raw beginner or a grizzled veteran, you'll find reference guides and tutorials to help you build your website.
CSS Zen Garden
A fun site that shows you how much CSS (cascading style sheets) can do for your site. Experienced designers are invited to try their hand at redesigning the site. They take the existing text for the page and create their own style sheet for the site. The results are startling.
Click from one stylesheet to another and see the difference Not a one of them looks anything remotely like any of the others. In keeping with the name of the site, it's actually kind of relaxing to click from one to the other and see the surprising scope of ingenuity that the different designers bring to the basic structure they work with.
TechEncyclopedia
OK, maybe this one isn't strictly design, but if you've ever been baffled by the techie terms that flood down on you, here's the place to go. Personal warning, though. They love to use bleeding edge ads that can get rather annoying. But hey, they're techies!
That's all for now! Hope you enjoy this new feature.
