cssigniter.com – Premium WordPress themes. Different

Gerasimos — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:14:31 +0000

Last year, i had an idea of launching a small premium WordPress themes shop. So, slowly but steadily i designed a series of templates and integrated them to WordPress. Thing is that as there many really great premium WordPress theme shops out there i had to figure a way and offer, well, something more, something different. And i think, i found it. In September cssigniter.com will see the light of the day. Every month i’ll be providing at least 2 new themes in more than one versions. What do i mean? Well subscribe to the newsletter, follow @cssigniter on Twitter and you’ ll get more and more info about it.

The State of web development 2010 survey results

Gerasimos — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 08:32:56 +0000

The results from “The state of web development 2010″ survery conducted by webdirections.org are now available. I can’t really find any surprises in there. Firefox is by far the browser of choice for many web professionals although Google Chrome climbs up to 3rd position behind Safari. jQuery seems to be an industry standard with an 78% of the people who participated using it as their primary javascript framework. HTML5, CSS3 and web fonts are the new kids around and transitional doctypes are still popular. Apache, PHP and mySQL are the most popular Server-side technologies as well.

Gerasimos — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:36:50 +0000

This is my new pet project called collectivesunited.com and the idea behind it is very simple. I am trying to collect all these really interesting roundups about design, development, photography etc. I decided to give the authors or people who’d like to share something interesting, the option to publish their own roundups (moderated of course). So have a look and if you are an author feel free to submit your roundup!

pinkmoustache.net: free vectors

Gerasimos — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:16:29 +0000

We love vectors. And when we design something that could be useful we give it away for free. And there are times where our sets are getting their 15 minutes of fame. So we decided instead of uploading these vector sets here on webtoolkit4.me, to create a dedicated place for these freebies. And this place is called Pink Moustache. Free vectors for everyone :)

State of the Web – Survey results

Gerasimos — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:55:18 +0000

Webdirections.org conducted a web design survey a while ago and now the results are online. Some interesting stuff can be found in these results.

For example 1.22% of people working in the industry, are using IE6 as their primary browser. Plain HTML is still around with approx 20% still using it instead of XHTML. There’s also an improvement to the number of people who validate their pages (36%) and Microformats are still not a common place for web workers. We still do have unknown words such as RDFA. Some other interesting facts is that flash content is still heavily around for content like video. Also jQuery seems to be an industry standard in terms of Javascript usage.

In the programming part of this survey Linux, Apache, mySQL, PHP seem to be the kings around.
