The web has become a much more dynamic institution over the recent years. Back in 2001 you would be hard pressed to find much animation around news websites. Yet today with social networking there are literally thousands and thousands of webmasters keeping up to date on standards. Specifically the StylesInspiration gallery includes some really beautiful layouts and dynamic components for web designers.
Folks who own and run their own restaurant are generally not concerned with the backing technology. But in this era it’s almost foolish to not have a website online. But where do you start? This handy gallery of 24 fast food and Restaurant-style websites should give you some great inspiration ahead. If you have your own restaurant website please let us know in the discussion area below! We would love to check out other sources for inspiration and share them with the many designers worldwide.
With many social applications the use of threaded comments has become a staple in functionality. Webmasters today are focusing much more on user experience rather than content generation, and because of this there has been a rise in custom animation effects.
Below I’ll be going over a guide to building your own custom jQuery threaded comments from scratch. For the ease of our tutorial we won’t be using any backend system to actually store the data anywhere. This means no MySQL databases or PHP calls to a server – all comments are added in-page and will be lost upon page refresh.
In this roundup we are featuring some amazing responsive web designs. We have also included a few tutorials that will help you learn more about responsive web design. Enjoy!!
Comments are an important part to any website community. Within the comments section visitors of your website may share their ideas, thoughts, and related links on topic with your content. It’s revolutionized the web 2.0 era!
Today we take comments as often commonplace wherever we go. Most blogs will include this feature by default. This also includes many of the popular open source projects such as Wordpress, MovableType, Blogger, and others. And although many of these are semi-closed off the most popular systems allow for customizations.
This is where threaded comments have begun. Including threads within the conversations allows for branching topics and more direct responses. Below I’ve gathered a hefty collection of threaded comment designs for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to leave your own comments as well if anything strikes your eye!
iPhone and iPad have taken the world by storm. Developers and programmers from all around have flocked to using the Objective-C language in programming their own iOS apps.

I highly recommend taking a peek to draw out your own creativity.

In the current design atmosphere , I hear the term wireframe being thrown around a lot more than it used to be. Over the last few years, wireframing is a process that has endured a lot of misunderstanding and has been become much more widely known as a software and web design methodology. I’ve begun to notice that the concept is warping and not for the better. This twisting of the terms is making it difficult for newer designers and students to understand the real application of the process.
Wait, whats the problem?
Recently, I gave a talk at a design school and I had a few students ask me about wire-framing and their mental model of it was pretty far off base. Their concept of wireframes included design, finalized layout, and a number of aesthetic decisions to name a few of the inappropriate things they considered part of wireframes. The worst part : they didn’t even want to do it. These students just knew it was a step they were supposed to do but didn’t understand why it was so useful. They just accepted it as step in the process and breezed through it to get to the fun look and feel parts. This was troubling to me. At first, I thought it may have been an isolated incident, but more and more I have been noticing that the workplace application of the process is suffering due to a bit of incorrect and popular saturation among clients, new designers, producers, product designers, etc. Wireframing is an essential step in the web design process and it would be a shame if up-and-coming designers did not learn to love it.
It interesting that designers will understand that complex structures such as buildings or cars require careful planning and architecture but then take a similar ideas for the web industry and barrel into them with little or no planning. Granted, a website is not a car, it is still a substantially complex undertaking and leaving out careful planning and structure is the recipe for a lot of wasted time, work and money. I promise I’ll get to the practical implementations but first, part of the initial battle is making sure everyone understands what a wire-frame is and what it is for.
