CornerPixel of Standards
Web standards is really how CornerPixel began, and as founder I have my own view on them. In 2008 CornerPixel began, in hopes of creating sound web standard websites for small businesses and individuals.
We are also very excited to become a reliable resource for web developers and designers when it comes to standards and user ease of use, so below are some helpful starters for those interested.
A Good Place to Start
I think the hardest thing about web design and development and making your ideas work in the web. It is very easy to create something in Photoshop that looks great, but it is another thing to make it work and look right in a browser.
Along with that is the time it takes to start from scratch each project. There is so much in each site that is similar, so having a place to start out each project is a good thing. Below is the starter CSS sheet we use at CornerPixel and are glad to offer it to those of you out there that are thinking about creating your own websites.
CSS Starters
Markup Starter Templates
Here are some starter templates I use. You will find links to examples and the downloadable template files. Also note that the "Base CSS Style Sheet" is part of the Starter Templates download and is just part of the templates main style sheet. *
* Starter Templates are all fixed width templates that are 880 pixels wide. This gives some 800x600 resolution coverage. (Variable width starter templates will be noted as such.)
Helpful Websites
Below are some very good websites that will help explain standards, both CSS and markup (HTML / XHTML)
