Real-life clients have real-life needs for their websites. They don’t care about your fancy RSS feeds and AJAX, they just want their website to do what they tell you they want it to do. In this screencast I walk through an example feature I am building for a real-life client who needed some very...

My technique for building print stylesheets goes like this. 1) Start from scratch 2) Leave most defaults alone 2) Eliminate every thing on the page you don’t need with display: none; 4) Put page-breaks where appropriate.

This video focuses on taking an already existing idea and code and turning it into a jQuery plugin. In this case it helps keep our code as semantic as it can be, and with JavaScript off, degrades nicely. We cover the syntax of creating a plugin, show off the cool chain-ability of jQuery, and sho...

This video demonstrates the technique seen on the Think Geek 3.0 site. The bottom of the site has a design of a bunch of robots and as the screen is scrolled to the bottom, the color fades to black and the pattern turns into zombies.

Photoshop is my tool of choice in designing for the web. I liken it to choosing the guitar as an instrument to play. A guitar sounds great alone and there are loads of resources to help you learn it. Photoshop is a very powerful tool all by itself and I’m going to add to that pile of resources by...

This video is the VERY basics of what HTML and CSS is, for the absolute beginner. HTML and CSS files are, quite literally, just text files.

We build a pretty typical image gallery design pattern, a grid of images that pop up larger when clicked. But this image gallery page makes use of hot semantic HTML5 markup, loads of visual treats with CSS3 and jQuery, and made editable through the CMS PageLime. Quick reminder, the demo is aweso...

You’ll have to forgive me here folks, this isn't a very constructive screencast. I was frustrated at the crappy checkout process for a software product I was trying, so I thought I'd screencast it as a lesson to us all on how not to design a checkout. It was confusing, frustrating, err...

In this screencast I discuss online advertising. What it is, how it works, and why it isn’t evil (except when it is). I talk about my experiences, the different services out there and the ones I use. Advertising is a symbiotic relationship between content websites and product/service websites. G...
