Mobile Web Optimization Guide

Bei dev.Opera gibt es den Mobile Web Optimization Guide von Bruce Lawson.

This article provides an overview of three different strategies to make your websites work across all devices. We’ll call them “mobile-aware” websites, as they’re not specifically for mobile sites, but they will work on mobile, as well as across different alternative browsing devices. These strategies are not mutually exclusive; you can mix and match as your project, budget and sanity allows.

commerce:SEO

Ich habe gerade einen weiteren xt:Commerce Fork gefunden der einen sehr guten ersten Eindruck macht: commerce:SEO.

Einige Features:

• Die neue Version commerce:SEO v2 Plus läuft komplett in HTML5 und UTF8.
• Cache System für Javascripte + CSS: Erhöhen Sie die Performance.
• Der Boxenmanager bietet die Möglichkeit, neue Boxen mit Hilfe der Datenbank einfach anzulegen, zu befüllen, zu deaktivieren oder zu verschieben.
• ALLE Bilder haben Alternativtexte die Sie selber bestimmen können, auch Multilingual.
• Youtube und Flash Unterstützung

Insgesamt macht der Shop einen sehr modernen Eindruck und auch das Backend ist deutlich aufgeräumter.

CSS: text-shadow und box-shadow

Nett:

All browsers that support the CSS text-shadow and box-shadow properties also support the new CSS3 RGBa syntax. Which means you can safely combine them today.

That’s handy, because it means no worrying about matching a precise hex colour shadow to a specific hex colour background. Instead just let the browser blend. An example:

p {
 text-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0 1px 0;
}
