Hey Everyone, Whenever I start building/designing a new site, I hate the beginning, where you start with creating a structure, adding the CSS file, folders. So I put together this little package, which has everything already in it so I can go straight to working on my CSS and coding. Thought that I would share it with you! If you like it let me know! Thanks!
I probably wouldn't slice stuff up THAT much -- the doctype for example and 99% of a page's header remains unchanged -- why put them in separate files; particularly when you can leverage variables to pass the things that ARE different like META and TITLE. Of course, I wouldn't have DIV#header in 99.99% of my designs since it's a wasted container... and 'main' is a bit vague and usually would conflict with what I'd be doing there too... The CSS is just oddball weirdness -- declaring 100% width on elements that already have it, fixed wdith layout, separate margin declarations for **** knows what, PX metric fonts on damned near EVERYTHING making it a steaming pile of accessibility /FAIL/, dicking around with form elements in a manner that actually might cause accessibility issues too. (and again MORE px metric fonts garbage). The markup feels incomplete and broken into too many pieces, the CSS is inaccessible rubbish NONE of which I'd ever consider using on a website. Though, you showed yours, lemme show you mine: Starting markup: http://www.cutcodedown.com/for_others/template.html Starting CSS: http://www.cutcodedown.com/for_others/screen.css I don't tend to set up much more than that -- for good reason.
