Ongoing Design Improvements
Posted on 27 Aug '24 filed under Miscellaneous
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been diving into tutorials, primarily focused on HTML5 and learning about Semantic HTML. While these concepts have been around for quite some time, I had previously overlooked them due to a reluctance to change old coding habits. Currently, I’m experimenting with how responsive layouts work, alongside reviewing the source codes of others to study their approaches. My goal is to implement these techniques in the future, specifically for mobile and tablet devices.
We are well aware that nearly 90% of our designs are static (meaning the content and layout do not adjust based on the device being used). Converting everything to a fully responsive format will require significant time and effort, especially considering the number of projects that still demand attention. Unfortunately, there are too many fanlistings and network sites that need updating, and we acknowledge that we should have started fixing our outdated coding practices long ago.
As a result, our current priority is to implement semantic HTML on newer sites that are already coded in DIV (table-less) formats. These are relatively simple to convert, and we aim to integrate them into our workflow before tackling the more complex older designs.
