Supercharge your workflow with Stylizer, the greatest CSS editor you will ever own that will cut the time you invest styling websites like a knife through butter. Sporting a unique grid-like CSS editing interface that feeds your style sheet to an integrated browser of your choice and allows you to drag page elements around and adjust all your styling needs from the comfort of your editor, all in real-time. Stylizer is packaged with a range of handy tools that just don't exist elsewhere. It automates things like Image Replacement, CSS positioning, clear fixes, CSS hacks (if you need them) and much more.
Instead of loading CSS files directly, Stylizer asks for the URL of the page you want to change. Then when all is said and done, the CSS is saved right back to where it came from via FTP, SFTP, or a network share. You can start writing better, cleaner CSS in half the time with this innovative editor that lets you target elements on the rendered page, see the most minuscule of changes immediately displayed as they would look on all major browsers in real-time with up to 3 side-by-side browser panes, an HTML DOM explorer, with support for cross-platform comparison to pinpoint issues with the interpretation of CSS on different browsers. Say goodbye to constantly having to hit refresh with every change, and say hello to instant gratification. Stylizer features a clutter-free interface and a whole host of unexpectedly powerful tools.
Say goodbye to the reload button! In Stylizer, your changes are immediately displayed in all browsers, in real-time—literally as you type or move the mouse. This is a substantial productivity boost for designers of all skill levels.
Size faster with Grips: Size Grips allow you to accurately resize any CSS dimension by clicking and dragging the mouse. Click, hold, and drag—watch your page update in real-time and achieve perfection on your first try. Take the guesswork out of sizing. Find the exact spot where that stubborn div wraps. Or use them to perfectly position a background image.
Two-click color changes: Tweak any color in your stylesheet to find the perfect hue, saturation, and luminance level for that exact look, in just two clicks: one click on the CSS declaration, another on the color picker which appears automatically. Stylizer provides two HSL-based color pickers and an opacity channel slider that generates RGB-based colors that work even on legacy browsers. Never guess another hex color code ever again! Stylizer provides two HSL-based color pickers and an opacity channel slider that generates RGB-based colors that work even on legacy browsers. Never guess another hex color code ever again!
Take control of repetitive tasks: The Remote Control makes many repetitive tasks a one-click operation. Most buttons here double as size grips, allowing you to save time with maneuvers like, for example, mousing down on the "background-position" button to insert a new declaration and starting to adjust it immediately by dragging the mouse. It's intelligent, too: when a declaration is already present, its button appears pressed, and Stylizer will adjust what you have instead of inserting. Or, right-click on a pressed button to delete a declaration without even looking for it.
Write error-free CSS: Stylizer knows all the latest CSS 3 standards, and provides a real-time Warnings list that updates without delay, as you type. You'll also see a subtle red underline wherever your CSS does not validate. Stylizer even recognizes many common CSS "hacks" to ensure that the Warning list only contains actionable errors.
Space bar, click anywhere, style anything. Bullseye transforms your workflow into an efficient point, click, and edit process. Using Bullseye is as easy as tapping the space bar, and clicking on the page element that you want to style. All matching CSS rules appear with the most specific rules appearing at the bottom of the list. Bullseye groups styles into two side-by-side lists: computed styles on the left, and the CSS declarations that produced them on the right. This design gives you immediate visibility, positioning you just one or two clicks away from your next adjustment.
When you use Bullseye, the path of HTML tags leading to the target element is displayed across the bottom of your screen in the Breadcrumb. Use it to select container elements or create new rules with a single click. Make Rule can be used to quickly make a new rule by clicking parts of the target element's ancestor list. Also, whereas Bullseye presents a list of CSS rules that affect a target element, Stakeout outlines all elements that are being targeted the CSS rule you are currently editing. With Stakeout turned on, you'll know which elements are going to be affected by a change before you make it.
Get a clear view of your HTML with a real-time tree of the HTML DOM. Use it to drill down into elements that are invisible or difficult to click with Bullseye, to quickly highlight and target adjacent elements, and to understand the overall structure of the page. The HTML DOM viewer is a compact panel, opens quickly when you need it, and stays out of your way when you don't.
Your style sheets, as the browser sees them with a real-time window into the browser's view of your style sheets—the CSS DOM. Due to differences between browsers, the CSS you write almost never ends up being interpreted by the browser exactly as you wrote it. The CSS DOM pane not only reveals which rules and declarations were accepted by the browser, it's even smart enough to recognize which declarations in your source code produced which declarations in the DOM.
The CSS DOM viewer is linked in real-time to the Code Grid, highlighting and updating as you work. If you have multiple browser preview panes open at once, the Code Grid will be linked to all of them at once, revealing subtle differences between browsers that can be the difference between fighting for hours and fixing a problem in minutes.
Just enter the address of any website in Stylizer to start editing the CSS. Or load an HTML page directly from your Mac or PC. Linked CSS files open automatically in Stylizer so you can start editing right away.
Switch between integrated browsers with one click. Stylizer automatically injects your changes into the new browser so you can switch browsers while your work is in progress and not yet saved. You can even open your page in up to three preview panes at the same time for side-by-side comparisons, making responsive and cross-browser testing a breeze. Stylizer includes embedded preview panes for all major browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer (on Windows), and Safari (on Mac).
Stylizer saves your CSS back to its original location by FTP, SFTP, FTP/SSL or directly to a hard drive or network share. Plus, it remembers where remotely loaded CSS files were last saved, so you only need to choose the location once.
Also compatible with your stack as Stylizer uses no project or temporary files, and works out of the box with almost any website. It works with CMS products like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. And it is compatible with practically every web framework: Rails, PHP, ASP.NET, node.js—you name it.
Rulers: Set the preview pane to a specific size, make presets for your breakpoints, and switch between presets with a single click.
Eye Dropper: Pull colors from Photoshop, a web page, or any other app, preview them in real-time, and immediately inject them into your CSS.
Lasers: Laser-like guidelines follow your mouse to help you ensure the elements on your page are properly aligned, and display measurements in a digital readout.
Lens: Ensure per-pixel accuracy by blowing up a portion of the browser by 8 times its original size. The lens can either follow your mouse or be locked in place.
A wealth of productivity at your fingertips.
Quicker commenting
Commenting out code has never been easier: just press F8 (Command-8 on Mac) to comment or uncomment a style. Stylizer knows the difference between a descriptive comment and commented code and presents them differently, making it obvious which is which.
Customizable formatting
Stylizer guarantees that your stylesheet will be beautifully formatted when saved, using your preferred style (spacing and tabs, indentation, line endings, maximum line length, etc). Working with minified CSS is no different in Stylizer—CSS appears as you would expect in the Code Grid, and minifies again automatically when saved. Formatting presets can be saved, and each individual style sheet can use its own formatting style, making it effortless to work simultaneously on multiple projects with different
requirements.Copy and paste as text
Although Stylizer presents CSS in the Code Grid, you may simply copy and paste between Stylizer and other applications as though it were an ordinary text editor. CSS is always copied in your preferred formatting style, so you'll never need to waste time reformatting CSS again.
Drag and drop
Simply hold Ctrl (Command on Mac), click, and drag to reorder declarations and rules, or move them between style sheets or between applications. The "plus" button on the Remote Control supports drag-and-drop as well, so you can insert a new line without touching the keyboard.
Made for keyboard junkies
We've made every effort to accommodate even the most die-hard emacs fanatic with a personal collection of IBM Model Ms (you know who you are). Efficiently control all of Stylizer and your CSS without going anywhere near a mouse.
Shortcut properties
Stylizer includes a set of unique, built-in shortcut properties that generate CSS declarations for you, making it easier to write correct cross-browser CSS.
Single-click Clearfix
Clearfix is a technique that web designers use to ensure that a container element expands to contain all of its floating children. Stylizer streamlines this process by generating all of the necessary CSS for you with a single click.
Unintrusive auto-complete
Stylizer subtly suggests CSS property names, keywords, and units as you type. It even recognizes hyphenated keywords, allowing you to type shortened CSS like p-t:2 instead of padding-top: 2px.
Offline support
Real-time preview is wonderful, but there are times when you need to open a CSS file to make a quick edit without opening a website. Stylizer's flexible UI works just as well as an offline editor, providing the same great editing experience even without a pane open.

You can start writing better, cleaner CSS in half the time with this innovative editor that lets you target elements on the rendered page, see the most minuscule of changes immediately displayed as they would look on all major browsers in real-time with up to 3 side-by-side browser panes, an HTML DOM explorer, with support for cross-platform comparison to pinpoint issues with the interpretation of CSS on different browsers. Say goodbye to constantly having to hit refresh with every change, and say hello to instant gratification. Stylizer features a clutter-free interface and a whole host of unexpectedly powerful tools.
Say goodbye to the reload button! In Stylizer, your changes are immediately displayed in all browsers, in real-time—literally as you type or move the mouse. This is a substantial productivity boost for designers of all skill levels.
Size faster with Grips: Size Grips allow you to accurately resize any CSS dimension by clicking and dragging the mouse. Click, hold, and drag—watch your page update in real-time and achieve perfection on your first try. Take the guesswork out of sizing. Find the exact spot where that stubborn div wraps. Or use them to perfectly position a background image.
Two-click color changes: Tweak any color in your stylesheet to find the perfect hue, saturation, and luminance level for that exact look, in just two clicks: one click on the CSS declaration, another on the color picker which appears automatically. Stylizer provides two HSL-based color pickers and an opacity channel slider that generates RGB-based colors that work even on legacy browsers. Never guess another hex color code ever again! Stylizer provides two HSL-based color pickers and an opacity channel slider that generates RGB-based colors that work even on legacy browsers. Never guess another hex color code ever again!
Take control of repetitive tasks: The Remote Control makes many repetitive tasks a one-click operation. Most buttons here double as size grips, allowing you to save time with maneuvers like, for example, mousing down on the "background-position" button to insert a new declaration and starting to adjust it immediately by dragging the mouse. It's intelligent, too: when a declaration is already present, its button appears pressed, and Stylizer will adjust what you have instead of inserting. Or, right-click on a pressed button to delete a declaration without even looking for it.
Write error-free CSS: Stylizer knows all the latest CSS 3 standards, and provides a real-time Warnings list that updates without delay, as you type. You'll also see a subtle red underline wherever your CSS does not validate. Stylizer even recognizes many common CSS "hacks" to ensure that the Warning list only contains actionable errors.
Space bar, click anywhere, style anything. Bullseye transforms your workflow into an efficient point, click, and edit process. Using Bullseye is as easy as tapping the space bar, and clicking on the page element that you want to style. All matching CSS rules appear with the most specific rules appearing at the bottom of the list. Bullseye groups styles into two side-by-side lists: computed styles on the left, and the CSS declarations that produced them on the right. This design gives you immediate visibility, positioning you just one or two clicks away from your next adjustment.
When you use Bullseye, the path of HTML tags leading to the target element is displayed across the bottom of your screen in the Breadcrumb. Use it to select container elements or create new rules with a single click. Make Rule can be used to quickly make a new rule by clicking parts of the target element's ancestor list. Also, whereas Bullseye presents a list of CSS rules that affect a target element, Stakeout outlines all elements that are being targeted the CSS rule you are currently editing. With Stakeout turned on, you'll know which elements are going to be affected by a change before you make it.
Get a clear view of your HTML with a real-time tree of the HTML DOM. Use it to drill down into elements that are invisible or difficult to click with Bullseye, to quickly highlight and target adjacent elements, and to understand the overall structure of the page. The HTML DOM viewer is a compact panel, opens quickly when you need it, and stays out of your way when you don't.
Your style sheets, as the browser sees them with a real-time window into the browser's view of your style sheets—the CSS DOM. Due to differences between browsers, the CSS you write almost never ends up being interpreted by the browser exactly as you wrote it. The CSS DOM pane not only reveals which rules and declarations were accepted by the browser, it's even smart enough to recognize which declarations in your source code produced which declarations in the DOM.
The CSS DOM viewer is linked in real-time to the Code Grid, highlighting and updating as you work. If you have multiple browser preview panes open at once, the Code Grid will be linked to all of them at once, revealing subtle differences between browsers that can be the difference between fighting for hours and fixing a problem in minutes.
Just enter the address of any website in Stylizer to start editing the CSS. Or load an HTML page directly from your Mac or PC. Linked CSS files open automatically in Stylizer so you can start editing right away.
Switch between integrated browsers with one click. Stylizer automatically injects your changes into the new browser so you can switch browsers while your work is in progress and not yet saved. You can even open your page in up to three preview panes at the same time for side-by-side comparisons, making responsive and cross-browser testing a breeze. Stylizer includes embedded preview panes for all major browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer (on Windows), and Safari (on Mac).
Stylizer saves your CSS back to its original location by FTP, SFTP, FTP/SSL or directly to a hard drive or network share. Plus, it remembers where remotely loaded CSS files were last saved, so you only need to choose the location once.
Also compatible with your stack as Stylizer uses no project or temporary files, and works out of the box with almost any website. It works with CMS products like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. And it is compatible with practically every web framework: Rails, PHP, ASP.NET, node.js—you name it.
Rulers: Set the preview pane to a specific size, make presets for your breakpoints, and switch between presets with a single click.
Eye Dropper: Pull colors from Photoshop, a web page, or any other app, preview them in real-time, and immediately inject them into your CSS.
Lasers: Laser-like guidelines follow your mouse to help you ensure the elements on your page are properly aligned, and display measurements in a digital readout.
Lens: Ensure per-pixel accuracy by blowing up a portion of the browser by 8 times its original size. The lens can either follow your mouse or be locked in place.
A wealth of productivity at your fingertips.
Quicker commenting
Commenting out code has never been easier: just press F8 (Command-8 on Mac) to comment or uncomment a style. Stylizer knows the difference between a descriptive comment and commented code and presents them differently, making it obvious which is which.
Customizable formatting
Stylizer guarantees that your stylesheet will be beautifully formatted when saved, using your preferred style (spacing and tabs, indentation, line endings, maximum line length, etc). Working with minified CSS is no different in Stylizer—CSS appears as you would expect in the Code Grid, and minifies again automatically when saved. Formatting presets can be saved, and each individual style sheet can use its own formatting style, making it effortless to work simultaneously on multiple projects with different
requirements.Copy and paste as text
Although Stylizer presents CSS in the Code Grid, you may simply copy and paste between Stylizer and other applications as though it were an ordinary text editor. CSS is always copied in your preferred formatting style, so you'll never need to waste time reformatting CSS again.
Drag and drop
Simply hold Ctrl (Command on Mac), click, and drag to reorder declarations and rules, or move them between style sheets or between applications. The "plus" button on the Remote Control supports drag-and-drop as well, so you can insert a new line without touching the keyboard.
Made for keyboard junkies
We've made every effort to accommodate even the most die-hard emacs fanatic with a personal collection of IBM Model Ms (you know who you are). Efficiently control all of Stylizer and your CSS without going anywhere near a mouse.
Shortcut properties
Stylizer includes a set of unique, built-in shortcut properties that generate CSS declarations for you, making it easier to write correct cross-browser CSS.
Single-click Clearfix
Clearfix is a technique that web designers use to ensure that a container element expands to contain all of its floating children. Stylizer streamlines this process by generating all of the necessary CSS for you with a single click.
Unintrusive auto-complete
Stylizer subtly suggests CSS property names, keywords, and units as you type. It even recognizes hyphenated keywords, allowing you to type shortened CSS like p-t:2 instead of padding-top: 2px.
Offline support
Real-time preview is wonderful, but there are times when you need to open a CSS file to make a quick edit without opening a website. Stylizer's flexible UI works just as well as an offline editor, providing the same great editing experience even without a pane open.

For almost 10 years now, Smashing Magazine has been where thousands of designers and developers go to learn about design trends and advanced coding techniques. That is why they've have developed the Smashing Library, a comprehensive collection of 56 valuable eBooks.
We care about quality content and work hard to support and spread best practices, innovative techniques and forward-thinking ideas. Our Smashing anthology is our editorial flagship, crafted to deliver in-depth knowledge and expertise shared by experts and practitioners from the industry.
The Smashing Book #1 (eBook) is about best practices in modern Web design. It shares technical tips and best practices on coding, usability and optimization and explores how to create successful user interfaces and apply marketing principles to increase conversion rates. It also shows how to get the most out of typography, color and branding so that you end up with intuitive and effective Web designs. And lastly, you will also get a peek behind the curtains of Smashing Magazine.
This book is a treasure of practical and useful knowledge for Web designers and developers. This first Smashing Book looks at Web design rules of thumb, color theory, usability guidelines, user interface design, best coding and optimization practices, as well as typography, marketing, branding and exclusive insights from top designers across the globe. It contains 10 chapters.
These eBooks are the long-awaited digital version of our bestselling printed book about best practices in modern Web design. They share valuable practical insight into design, usability and coding, provide professional advice for designing mobile applications and building successful e-commerce websites, and explain common coding mistakes and how to avoid them. You’ll explore the principles of professional design thinking and graphic design and learn how to apply psychology and game theory to create engaging user experiences.
The Web has changed a lot. Our tools now are advanced, and browsers are highly capable. We are facing new challenges and embracing new technologies. These changes require us to reconsider how we approach Web design. In fact, it’s time to rethink, to recode, to redesign.
The Mobile Book features the most important things that you need to know as a designer, developer, or mobile strategist for your sites. You'll dive deep into the peculiarities of the mobile industry, explore responsive design strategy, design patterns and optimization techniques, learn about wireframing and prototyping for mobile as well as the guidelines for designing with gestures and touch.

Responsive design is a default these days, but we are all still figuring out just the right process and techniques to better craft responsive websites. That’s why we created a new book — to gather practical techniques and strategies from people who have learned how to get things done right, in actual projects with actual real-world challenges.
Tailored to the needs of front-end developers, this eBook bundle contains 4 selected Smashing eBooks on HTML, CSS, responsive web design, and more. A valuable companion to master your daily front-end challenges.
Is there anything more insightful than learning about the workflows from fellow designers and developers, and what techniques they use? What made their projects a stunning success, and how do they overcome missteps? With this eBook, we’ll take a closer look at the techniques and stories of some folks behind real-life Web projects.
Among others, you will discover how renowned projects such as the Financial Times Web app or the Nike Better World website were built, and learn from the success story of a translation app that made it into Apple’s top ten charts. You’ll also get an insight into Google’s User Experience Lab, and (illustrated by the example of Pinterest) explore the importance of paint performance. Furthermore, our Smashing authors share valuable lessons learned in the course of their careers — from both successes and failures. This eBook is full of handy tips, ideas, and personal experiences that are beneficial to any Web professional.
You won't get far without the foundational understanding of HTML semantics – but it is even more important to follow up on the recent developments and discussions.
This eBook addresses the importance of semantics in our code. It touches on outlining algorithms, HTML5 semantics, the pursuit of semantic value and the HTML semantic grid system.
Slow loading times break the user experience of any website — no matter how well crafted it might be. In fact, it only takes three seconds until users lose their interest in a site if they don't get a response immediately. If another site happens to be 250ms faster than yours, then users are more inclined to switch to a competitor’s website in no time. Web fonts, heavy JavaScript, third-party widgets — all of them can sum up to become a real performance bottleneck. Nevertheless, tracking that down does not only improve loading times but also results in a much snappier experience and a higher user engagement.
If you’ve been working on the web for a while, your bookshelves may already be buckling under the weight of books about HTML and CSS. Do you really need another one? Hardboiled Web Design is different. It’s for people who want to understand why, when and how to use the latest HTML5 and CSS3 technologies in their everyday work. Not tomorrow or next week, but today.
This eBook collection will guide you into the Usability for Web Design field showing you how to use design elements for each purpose. The various possibilities for developing websites foster not only a designer’s creativity, but also the necessity of applying techniques that enhance the User Experience (UX) and website’s usability.
Testing usability is vital to creating a successful website — even more so if it’s an e-commerce website, a complex app or any other complicated project. Unlike interviews and focus groups, a well-designed user test measures actual performance.
User research is an effective strategy to gain a deeper understanding of your target audience — a crucial step in order to choose efficient design solutions and build smart products. But what has to be considered when conducting user research? What methods have proven themselves in practice? And how do you finally integrate your findings into the design process? With this eBook, you will learn to take the guesswork out of your design decisions and base them on real-life experiences and user needs instead.
Even the most thought-out and best-planned user experience can get lost when attention to certain details falls short. To raise awareness for those little things that add up to an ideal user experience, we have put together “Designing Better UX”.
Whether you're creating a game or a website, a lasting bond with users is more often than not the result of emotional attachment. Knowing the ins and outs of emotional design will enable you to imbue your creation with personality and to shape the user's perception.
With more and more people reaching out for their smartphones and tablets to shop online, mobile e-commerce is set to reach $86 billion by 2016 — a development that brings along entirely new demands on e-commerce websites. After our first e-commerce eBook was published four years ago, we wanted to take a fresh look at the challenges that crafting online shopping experiences bring along today, and equip you with the necessary know-how on how to deal with them effectively.
How should you set up menus for optimal usability? Does mobile UX design follow different rules? How can you use sound to make your website not just more appealing but also easier to navigate? These and other questions should be factored into any decisions about modern website design, because they will influence the amount and quality of repeat traffic.
While users expect content to be unique and exciting, they also prefer clear, predictable patterns when it comes to navigation. After all, navigation is merely a means to an end: consuming content without hassle and not spending too much time looking for it. The foundation of a solid, frustration-free user experience thus lies in a well-structured, simple navigation system. But which design decisions have really proven to work well in practice?
The user-centered design process is based on various steps, each with its respective approaches. Learn about designing flows, optimizing emotional engagement and performing heuristic website reviews.
Psychology of Web Design gives you insights on how the human brain deals with different elements, colors, contrast, symmetry and balance. Combining the usability guidelines from Maslow's pyramid will surely help you design closer to your audience’s desires.
In “Rethinking UX”, various UX professionals share their lessons learned and provide practical advice from their very own personal experience. The eBook is packed with interesting thoughts and concepts that let us reflect on our own practices. Every designer has their own user research techniques and strategies, but leaving the office and talking to people on the streets can foster innovation even more as any thought-out strategy ever could.
User Experience (UX) can be strongly influenced by behavioral factors such as emotions, beliefs, preferences and even cultural backgrounds. Being aware of this, Web designers keep developing strategies to improve the overall UX with the help of storytelling, tools for problem solving, relationship engineering and costumer service improvement.
In this book, you'll learn how lean UX has made the whole discipline more approachable and attractive to startups, and you'll see that UX issues aren't just a quick fix, but should also address big-picture issues. Sometimes, the solution to a problem is to fix a broken UX; other times, you will need to constantly fine-tune in order to keep up with changing demands. You'll also look at wireframing alternatives, research planning and design bias.
Every Web designer, whether freelanced or employed, should have a reference literature that accompanies him or her throughout their professional routine. In this bundle you will find 10 Smashing eBooks that will help you improve your skills in the Web Design field. You will be able to apply techniques to adapt your designs for mobile gadgets, combine different typefaces and intensify your professional abilities.
What is it that makes a website stand out from the crowd? What makes it memorable and meaningful? This eBook wants to approach these questions. It's in no means a step-by-step guide to follow, but rather a collection of thoughts to give you some general impulses and perspectives on creating meaningful websites.
“Creativity” is a term that often partakes of something mysterious and nearly magical — something that we are blessed with, something like an ambivalent, secret power that one moment strikes us unexpectedly, and then puts us on hold when we desperately try to come up with an idea. But the infamous creative spark isn't as random as we might think.

Building HTML emails certainly does require some fiddling around, but it's defintely worth it. So, are you ready to take on the challenge?

Whether you're interested in determining the right paragraph layout or typographic details, observing the correct typographic etiquette or making the other small decisions that will dramatically influence how your website is perceived, many answers will present themselves in this collection of articles.
With the help of this eBook, you can learn how to train and sharpen your eyes to recognize specific typographic details which will be sure to guide you in your own projects and make it easier for you to make design decisions. After an initial stroll through type terminology and classification, this eBook reflects on the quality of fonts (including web font providers, of course) and explores typographic design patterns as well as current practices. These practical considerations and a plethora of real-world examples are bound to be a valuable companion throughout your adventures when designing with type.
Certain strategies can help to unlock our creative insight, and make our ideation process — and that of our team members — more effective. Unlocking Innovation wants to equip you with such strategies, but also go beyond the mere process of generating ideas and look at how we can actually bring them to life. Different ways of experimenting with that first vague idea and mocking it up are thus part of the eBook, just like suggestions on finding the idea that is really worthy of our time and energy. The tips that our authors have to share are very practical, and can easily be incorporated into your (or your team’s) workflow. So, take your time and examine them carefully, and, most importantly, try them out to see what works best for you.

This book looks at common interface patterns from the perspective of an inclusive designer—someone trained in building experiences that cater to the huge diversity of abilities, preferences and circumstances out there.
Accessibility is not just about addressing specific disabilities, but making sure as many people as possible have access to the same information. There’s rarely a good reason to lock people out when openness is a foundational principle of the web.
We design with viewports in mind, keep track of loading times, and hunt down even the smallest browser bugs — all to create the best possible user experience. But despite all these efforts to constantly improve our products, there’s still one aspect that, unfortunately, comes up short quite often: accessibility.
