Firefox and Chrome Tools for Web Designers

Add Dimensions to Websites with Modal Windows
If you are as old as I am, you probably remember when the World Wide Web, as we called it, was mostly just a bunch of hypertext pages. In other words, a website consisted of one page that linked to other pages, and if you were fortunate, the webmaster threw in a few scanned photos.
Fast forward to the 21st century, and we now have dynamic web applications that can do just about anything, even mimic an entire operating system. While many developers are in the habit of using Adobe Flash or some other third-party software to create their...
Optimize Website Images for Performance
Part of the job of a web designer is to create a site that is both beautiful in its visual presentation and also fast in load times and downloads. This is sometimes a difficult balance to maintain.

Making customers wait for a website to load is no different than a waiting room at a doctor's office or a line at a grocery store. It is not completely avoidable, but you should ma...

Microsoft ending support for its IE version for Macs also helped to us...
Unlock the Power of CSS List Menus
At one time, most websites had simple text links. Even an experienced web designer would, at best, organize some type of simple text list or table for their menu. If they wanted something more fancy (i.e. mouseover effects or image backgrounds) the only way to accomplish it was with an external plugin, such as Java. That often slowed websites to an unusable state.
CSS changed all of that, providing web designers with styling flexibility in lists, particularly when used to make menus. Without using Java, Flash, or even Javascript, you ca...
