As soon as you save a CSS-file, the changes are directly implemented, without having to refresh your browser. When you’re coding a website, nothing can be more frustrating than having to switch [...]

dilbert usability comic

So what’s the difference between design and style? I’ve had to explain that to quite a few clients that think all they need is a good looking website and they will make millions. It has to work and the design has to (subconsciously) show users how it works and it’s a perk if it looks [...]
