How to create a web design website without HTML or CSS
A few weeks ago, I came across a great article from The Economist explaining how to create the web design you want to see.
And while the article focused on HTML and CSS, a few of the tips and tricks I picked up in the article were applicable to both.
So I decided to take some of those tips and apply them to designing a website with HTML.
I’ve made a few changes to the article to better reflect my style, but in the end, it’s still the same design I use on my home page.
To give you an idea of how simple the changes are, here’s a breakdown of what we’ve done: 1.
Simplify the design The article says you need to simplify your design by using the same style across all of your pages.
That’s a great tip, but it doesn’t mean you should just go with the “same” style across every single page.
If you have a design for a large business, for example, you’ll want to choose a design that makes sense across all your pages, but that’s still going to look very different across every individual page.
You want to have a consistent look across all pages, so that you can easily distinguish between a site’s main page and all of its subpages.
The best way to do this is to use a style guide.
A style guide will give you a general idea of the style of your website, so you can use that to help you choose a good design.
You can also look at some great design guides online, but I recommend the Style Guide Index.
I use it because it’s free and it’s great for finding inspiration for your website.
2.
Add color The article makes an important point that we’ll get to in a moment: “If you’re using a design based on HTML, you should only use the same color scheme for your pages on all of the pages of your site.”
But that’s a very important point, and if you don’t think it’s important, then don’t do it.
The more colors you use on your page, the more complex your design will look, so don’t go overboard.
And that’s because when you add colors to your design, the colors can become the background of the page, and the background can become an anchor point of your design.
A great way to get color to appear in the right places is to draw it with a gradient.
For example, if you have an icon that has a gradient effect applied to it, you can then add the gradient effect to the icon itself, and you’ll be able to use that gradient to show different colors across the page.
A good rule of thumb is to make sure that your design has an effective gradient effect.
3.
Use a gradient I love using gradient colors in my designs, but there are a few ways to do it that can make your designs more visually appealing.
The first way is to apply a gradient color to the entire design.
This is great if you want the entire page to look more like a video, or if you’re trying to create an image-heavy design.
But this technique also makes your designs look a little bit boring, since you’ll end up with a design with just a few gradients, like a gradient of a blue background with a green gradient.
Another technique that’s very useful for this purpose is to color your design with a neutral color, which you can color with a simple color gradient.
3a.
Apply a gradient to the whole design When you apply a gradient to a design, you’re applying a color to each color element in the design, so it will make the design appear to be more unified and more organized.
You don’t want to be using gradients to make your design look more visually uniform.
The next thing you can do is apply a color gradient to each of the elements on your design (or even your entire design).
This way, you have the ability to create different gradient colors across your design to make it more visually pleasing.
A gradient gradient is applied with a linear gradient, which is a gradient that has one point that travels from left to right.
You start with a solid gradient and end with a slightly darker gradient, and then you end up making a smooth gradient with a slight slope.
The goal of using a gradient is to create something that looks consistent across the entire area of the design.
So if you end a design by having all of those gradients applied to all of them, it’ll look very unorganized and disjointed.
The only way to avoid this is by using a linear color gradient, where each color gradient has a different point that goes from left and right, and each color has a corresponding linear color.
4.
Use gradient effect When you use a gradient in your design you’re effectively applying a linear gradient effect, which means that the colors will start out very light and gradually increase in intensity as the gradient increases in thickness.
You’ll end with colors that look more uniform and cohesive,
