Good CSS Design at Lee Jeans Russ reminds us why Web Standards are cool:

From Zeldman which I just recently added to my aggregator, I just saw this great awesome article on how the XHTML/CSS design was created for the new Lee Jeans - One True Fit website.

The overview is short and to the point and gives links to all the tricks used on the page to get the design desired. Adding ?style=false to any of the page's urls will show the non-css markup. The difference is astounding. I'm more and more amazed at the power of a good designer and CSS every day.

This article is very elegant in explaining how CSS and XHTML can simplify your life. I'm a huge fan of web standards and (luckily) have been able to convince most teams/clients to use them in the past couple of years. Just to remind you how easy it is to write XHTML, check out the New York Public Library's XHTML Guidelines.

On a related topic, I've had a few folks ask for my wiki's theme recently. So here it is. Enjoy! Posted in The Web at Sep 04 2003, 08:24:08 AM MDT Add a Comment
