I get a .pdf complete with images, fancy fonts, styles, gradients and what have you. Basically it's handed off to me with the message, "Make me a web page that looks exactly like this." I've tried a few pdf to html tools and they all look terrible. I figure I've only got 2 options and i hate them both. convert the pdf to one big ima...

So I've tried to work with the pure-CSS, never-use-tables-for-layout gospel, I really have. But after an incredible amount of pain and anguish, I'm just about ready to give up. I'm willing to go to some effort to accomplish things in CSS, don't get me wrong. But when it seems like some of the most asininely simple things that can be d...

Some of us just have a hard time with the softer aspects of UI design (myself especially). Are "back-end coders" doomed to only design business logic and data layers? Is there something we can do to retrain our brain to be more effective at designing pleasing and useful presentation layers? Colleagues have recommended a few books me i...
I design web apps mainly for desktop use (not PDAs, phones etc) by co-workers and customers. As more users become equipped with 16:9-type screens the traditional screen layouts are no longer ergonomic. For example, a long vertical navi bar might not fit completely or a complex form might need to be scrolled in order to move to the next ...
What books about web user interface design can you recommend? I know, the technology behind a web site does not really matter for the UI design. But as I'm using ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX and jquery, it would be a plus if the book contains examples using these technologies. ...
I'm curious whether many of us who do design or take design decisions have ever heard of this problem. I'm aware there are dangerous color combinations, like green + red. This is probably one of the most popular cases of color blindness. If you have green text on a red background and vice versa some people won't see anything. I've also...

When developing a web application using ASP.NET, do you have any hints about how to separate the development of content/functionality from the design, so that the two can be developed separately and in parallel? The situation is: Customer has agreed on what functionality they want Customer is changing their mind about the appearance (...
Most popular web-sites that require you to log in, have the authentication form on the right side of the page. More or less. As a right-handed person, I find it rather intuitive to look at and convenient to work withthat I don't have to sprain my neck or move my mouse too much to select the username field (though of late, most pages d...
