Hi all. I wrote a blog post on how to make a website behave like a web app on iOS devices. I did lots of searching before finally getting it right, so I thought it'd be a good idea to gather all the pieces in one article to make it easy for the rest of you.
This is information you probably already know, but hopefully beginners will find it useful.
Enjoy!
I wanted to do this for a very long time, but pretty images and gradients always got in the way. Finally, I ditched the decorations and go straight to the core content. Content is the design.
The end result is a very pleasant reading experience for my blog subscribers (at least I hoped). Let me know what you think.

This one is for you typography lovers. I Love Eurostile is a (parody) tribute to the typeface Eurostile. The inspiration comes from the over usage of the typeface by industrial designers and Hollywood blockbusters (mostly the sci-fi genre).
We had a little fun with filming the other day. Watch this to learn about web and mobile design.

So my question is, am I using <button> wrong? Does using <button> instead of < a > have any harm semantic wise or SEO wise? I would appreciate your expert help. Thanks!
Just a small bog post I wrote to share some knowledge about mobile friendly email campaigns. If you still prefer plain text emails then this isn't for you.
Hi all. We've been working hard on a tool at the office. We finally launched it last week. It's called the Mobile Grader. You enter an URL and it tells you how that website performs on mobile devices. This is not perfect yet, we are still trying to improve it based on user feedback. So try it out. If you think something is off, feel free to let me know here. Thanks, guys!
Mobile is happening right now. It is not another trend or craze. If you are still thinking about it, you are already behind. Now is the time to act, and web designers all around need to evolve and become mobile minded. Having recently made the transition to mobile, I'd like to share a few things I've learned with my fellow designers.
