Brand Guidelines are the foundation for a good front-end, so then why are they so hard to come by and stick to? That's something that I've always made the priority of my work - making sure that whatever code gets pushed, looks how it's supposed to.

Each project is different based off client needs, but there are certain aspects that simply won't change.

• Collecting requirements
• Designing Specs
• Measuring Usability
• Tweaking designs
• Finding errors
• Coding it up

This is what I've found yields the best results. There is a lot more that goes into it but I've found that sticking to these core steps leaves myself, and the user, with a better experience.

Oh the web, it's a-changin. Luckily not all of it though. There is the age-old and seemingly never-ending war between front-end devs who want to put their CSS in Javascript versus those that just love plain old CSS. I'm more of a CSS guy myself. It just leaves room for flexiblity for things like accessbility which JS in CSS can limit.

Plain Vanilla, please

I like my CSS like my Ice cream, plain vanilla. Just kidding I don't like vanilla ice cream, but I do love vanilla CSS. The language is improving day by day and soon it will take care of most things we need on the web with regard to front-end.

Get in touch I'm happy to share what I know about front-end or design and I like talking about pretty much anything.
