About this web design blog

This web design blog shares what I have learned in more than ten years of designing and building websites and apps. The articles are practical: comparisons like Flexbox vs Grid, checklists such as web accessibility basics, and career advice for designers and developers in India.

If you prefer to learn step by step, the free tutorials cover HTML, CSS, JavaScript and more, and the free tools help with everyday jobs like compressing images or checking colour contrast. For official specifications, the W3C web standards are the source behind most of these topics.
