The advantage of using HTML5 is that you don’t need to use any Flash technology to create the animation effects. Since no Flash is used, it can be displayed well in any devices including iPads.  Most of there html 5 website builders also come with html5 templates that have already been optimized to look good everywhere.

1: Wix


Wix has been a power house in website building for a long time. They have continuously improve their technology to make it easier for the average user to build beautiful websites without programming.  In the past, Wix is known for being a Flash based website builder. However, they have since shifted their technology into HTML5, which is great news for users.  Best of all, they offer a nice free trial.

Add HTML5 video to your site

Posted by Shafat Tuesday, 9 July 2013 0 comments

Video on the Web


Until now, there has not been a standard for showing a video/movie on a web page.

Today, most videos are shown through a plug-in (like flash). However, different browsers may have different plug-ins.

HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed a video/movie on a web page: the <video> element.


HTML5 Video - How It Works

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

The control attribute adds video controls, like play, pause, and volume.

It is also a good idea to always include width and height attributes. If height and width are set, the space required for the video is reserved when the page is loaded. However, without these attributes, the browser does not know the size of the video, and cannot reserve the appropriate space to it. The effect will be that the page layout will change during loading (while the video loads).

You should also insert text content between the <video> and </video> tags for browsers that do not support the <video> element.

The <video> element allows multiple <source> elements. <source> elements can link to different video files. The browser will use the first recognized format.

How to Add a Background Image with CSS

Background images, just as the name implies, are part of the BACKGROUND of a website, not part of the actual content. The most common place to add a background image to, is the entire canvas – aka the body tag.

The CSS to add an image to a body tag is simple:

body
{
      background: url(bgimage.jpg);
}

I’m just using a random image for demonstration purposes, and THIS this is what we get. And we can note the following:

  1.     It’s a very beautiful flower (grew in my house)
  2.     It repeats itself and covers the entire background – that is called ’tiling’ (think bathroom)
  3.     It pretty much makes it impossible to read the actual page content

There are also special background images that are designed to tile unnoticeable -for example this one:

CSS also gives us the tools to direct our background image how we want it. The default, as you can see, is that it repeats itself horizontally AND vertically to fill the entire background, regardless of size. Sometimes we might want the image appear only horizontally or vertically – and maybe not directly on the edge of the viewing area.

body { background: url(bgimage.jpg) repeat-x bottom; }

body { background: url(bgimage.jpg) no-repeat #f6f1b9 fixed top right; padding-right: 250px; }

body { background: url(bgimage.jpg); }
body { background: url(bgimage.jpg); }
body { background: url(bgimage.jpg); }
body { background: url(bgimage.jpg); }body { background: url(bgimage.jpg); }

Cool Productivity Tools For Designers

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
Let’s face it: the life of the average freelance web designer isn’t always that rose garden you were promised by your drunken 9 to 5 friends down at the pub. You are responsible for everything, from designing to billing, while having to manage your time wisely and efficiently. Here are 10 tools that will help you do just that, allowing you to spend a little bit more time designing, and a little less time figuring out what you were supposed to do next.

Google Docs

Google Docs allows you to create, manage and upload your files from your desktop, and then access them from any computer or smart phone. You actually must have it if you’re working as a part of a team, since each of you will be able to modify documents from anywhere in the world. And for those private freelance souls who live in constant fear of a hard disk crash, it will allow to sleep that much easier.

Xmarks

Why run around from this computer to that laptop to find your bookmarks? Xmarks syncs all of your bookmarks and favorites across browsers (they support Firefox, Cgrome, Explorer and Safari) and computers. There’s also a function of a “Smarter Search”, which promises to highlight the top sites in your search according to how other users have bookmarked and rated them.

Subernova

Even the invincible Batman had Alfred to remind him of the day’s chores on an especially hung-over morning, so why should you struggle to remember every little thing? Subernova tracks time left for projects, allows you to create tasks to team members, send invoices and estimates, schedule an email to a client (or your mother, if need be) and even includes a time-tracker so you can charge a project by time.

Remember the Milk

Another good (and free of charge, which makes it even better) time-management tool. Remember the milk allows you to create and manage multiple task lists from any computer and smart phone, as well as offline. You can also add locations to tasks and organize your tasks by tags. As of July 2011, the site boasts of over 2.5 million registered users.

Browser Shots

This beautiful tool makes screenshots of your website in every browser. How is this done? You start by submitting your site URL, select the browsers you want to inspect, grab a coffee while you wait for Browser Shots to do its thing, and these get uploaded to your site.

Designers Tool Box

A clever tool for both Print and web designers, since it saves that time you spend pondering on envelope sizes, DVD/CD covers and labels, business card sizes and much more. Web designers will get a kick out of the web safe areas, banner sizes, web browser elements, HTML characters, etc.

URL Stats



Websitegrader and WooRank are both solid and free SEO tools that measure how well your site is doing on the web. Both offer various measurements of traffic and social media popularity. WooRank also provides you with a delightful masochistic feature – checking out your competitors’ performance.

Amazing 6 Wireframe Tools For Fit Your Budget And Design Needs

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
Wireframes have become indispensable for professional web and software development projects. They help all parties involved—the client, managers, graphic designers and developers—to visualize the final product and identify potential problems early on in the process, thereby minimizing the headaches at later stages.
While paper and pen are great tools for sketching initial wireframes and experimenting with early design ideas, further work is best done using a software application that supports editing and versioning. In this article, I will introduce you to ten very different wireframing tools with price tags ranging from free to several hundred dollars.

PowerMockup—Wireframing Add-on for PowerPoint

PowerMockup is an add-on that turns Microsoft PowerPoint into a wireframe tool. It adds a new panel to the PowerPoint window, which contains hundreds of wireframe elements and icons that can easily be positioned on a slide via drag-and-drop. PowerMockup works with Office 2007, 2010, and 2013 for Windows. A single-user license for PowerMockup costs $59.95; team licenses are available with significant volume discounts.

Moqups—Online Mockup and Wireframing Tool

Moqups is an online HTML5 application that produces clean vector-based wireframes. Developed by a team of six passionate engineers from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, it is completely free, and there is no requirement to register. Just recently, an optional premium version was introduced with live collaboration, master pages, unlimited revisions, and other interesting features.

Fluid UI—Online Prototyping Tool for iOS, Android, and Windows Apps

Fluid UI is a web-based prototyping tool for mobile apps. It can be used to create everything from low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity mockups and prototypes. The tool comes with libraries of UI elements for iOS, Android, and Windows 8 apps. An account for one project with up to ten screens is available free, and paid plans start at $29 per month.

Wireframe.cc—Free Minimal Online Wireframing Tool

Wireframe.cc distinguishes itself from other wireframing tools by having an extremely simple interface without many bells and whistles. When you visit the wireframe.cc website, you can immediately start drawing by clicking and dragging the mouse across the canvas. To save a wireframe, you simply click the “Save” button, and a unique URL will be generated that you can bookmark and share with others. Wireframe.cc is free to use; a paid-premium version with additional features is expected shortly.

Axure RP—Extensive Wireframing Suite

With prices beginning at $289 for a standard license, Axure RP is not exactly a bargain. The tool’s extensive feature set, however, may justify the price tag for some users. Axure can be used for not only creating simple wireframe sketches but also generating complex prototypes and specification documents. Other advanced features worth mentioning are the abilities to share prototypes with clients, manage feedback and discussions, and collaborate with team members. Being a desktop software, Axure is available for Mac OS X and Windows.

Balsamiq Mockups—Flash-Based Rapid Wireframing Tool

Balsamiq Mockups is one of the best-known wireframing tools. Originally released in 2008 by a single developer, it is now used by tens of thousands of clients and is supported by a team of eleven full-time employees. Balsamiq Mockups aims to reproduce the experience of drawing sketches on paper, which is why it produces wireframes that look rough and not like formal designs. The tool can be used in the browser (Flash required) or downloaded as an Adobe Air application. A single-user license costs $79.

Latest 5 Cool Yet Free Online Tools for CSS Optimization

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
CSS is the web standard. It is the today and tomorrow of most of the graphics seen on the web. CSS3 and now, the latest CSS4 have even started to challenge JavaScript for day-to-day tasks.
But one cannot use CSS to its full potential unless he uses optimized code. And for that, one needs high quality tools for CSS Optimization.
These tools we are sharing today are free online tools that can parse, check, format, beautify, clean, validate, compress and optimize your CSS code for today’s web.

Online Tools for CSS Optimization

This is a brilliant resource for all web designers.
Probably my favorite tool for optimizing large size CSS files. Devilous smartens your CSS code by removing unnecessary codes and making them tidy, clean and slick. This is probably the best CSS code compressor available on the internet right now. It also supports CSS 3.0

                      
The tool claims to be the greatest tool for sorting out your CSS codes. And you know what… it’s hard to argue with that. This tool really does the job better than anyone else. It can parse your code, sort your code alphabetically and through other standards, checks, formats and optimizes your CSS code. Supports up to CSS4 (Yes, there is a CSS4).
Almost the same as CSS Comb but CSS Beautifier does not sorts your code as powerfully as CSS Comb does. Sometimes web templates and themes come with difficult to read CSS files. You just copy the code and paste in this CSS tool and voila!
CSS Lint is one of the truest CSS tools for code optimization. It can do loads of stuff. Details would take too much time, so just go to site and click the arrow button on the right side of Lint button.
This is one of the simplest CSS tools. It compresses and minifies your CSS code and converts the file into Gzip format. This tool also supports JavaScript.
