In a responsive world, managing font sizes can be tricky. So how can an atomic approach help?

Lazy loading doesn’t have to be difficult, here’s how to add smooth loading images to your website.

A common part of a website is the ability to search. Depending on how important search is to your website can define much of how it looks and how it’s prioritised in the design.

Icon fonts are used for their convenience, which generally can’t be matched by SVG. However, this post aims to guide you through the setup and get to a similar level of convenience.

With horizontal scrolling, submenus are quite challenging to make work. Due to the CSS you have to use, a CSS only solution isn’t viable. In this post I show you how to utilise JavaScript.

Headroom.js is a popular plugin for providing additional functionality in having a fixed header. It has a lot of additional callbacks and options, to make sure you can cover a variety of situations. One of those things is stopping it from hiding when your navigation is open.

Following up from the design in Illustrator post, it’s time to code the design. Using flexbox to do the heavy lifting for the layout, the focus can be on matching the design and improving on it through being able to show the button state.

Scroll snap points is the answer to the need for JavaScript carousels, to an extent. As browsers gain more and more new features in CSS, it’s important to keep up to date with them. As the generalisation is; where you can replace JavaScript with CSS you gain performance improvements. Carousels in my experience are a good chunk of the need for JavaScript on the average website. So I’m very interested at the prospect of using scroll snap points to replace that.

This post builds upon the previous one in making it editable with Wordpress, using the Customizer API and the newest functionality since 4.5 selective refresh. With this you can make a really smooth and quick editing experience.
