Eleventy Love
17.1.2020
Been seeing a lot of Eleventy action lately. It's a smaller player in the world of static site generators, but I think it's got huge potential because of how simple it is, yet does about anything you'd need it to do. It's Just JavaScript™.

Third-Party Components at Their Best
16.1.2020
I'm a fan of the componentization of the web. I think it's a very nice way to build a website at just about any scale (except, perhaps, the absolute most basic). There are no shortage of opinions about what makes a good component, but say we scope that to third-party for a moment. That...
Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React
15.1.2020
I find it notable when the blog of a major accessibility-focused company like Deque publishes an article called Debunking the Myth: Accessibility and React. Mark Steadman is essentially saying if a site has bad accessibility, it ain't React... it's you. The tools are there to achieve good...
Netlify High-Fives
14.1.2020
We've got Netlify as a sponsor around here again this year, which is just fantastic. Big fan. Our own Sarah Drasner is Head of DX (Developer Experience) over there, if you hadn't heard. And if you haven't heard of Netlify, well, you're in for a treat. It's a web host, but for your jamstack sites...

Our Learning Partner: Frontend Masters
10.1.2020
I'd like to think there is a lot to learn on CSS-Tricks. But we don't really offer much by the way of courses. You're probably reading this because you just generally read this site, and you land on CSS-Tricks otherwise mostly because you are looking for an answer to some front-end...

Why every website wants you to accept its cookies
6.1.2020
I'm probably in the minority on this, but I've never ever built one of those "This site uses cookies, here's some kind of explanation of why, and please click this OK button to accept that" bars that feels like they are on half of the internet.
Emily Stewart:
Most of us just tediously click “yes”...

One of our yearly traditions here is to thank all y'all CSS-Tricks readers at the passing of a new year. It means a lot to me that people come here and read the words I write, and the words of all our staff and guest authors that contribute here as well.
Thank you!
Plus, we dig into the numbers...
Adding Dynamic And Async Functionality To JAMstack Sites
2.1.2020
Jason Lengstorf:
Here’s an incomplete list of things that I’ve repeatedly heard people claim the JAMstack can’t handle that it definitely can:
Load data asynchronously
Handle processing files, such as manipulating images
Read from and write to a database
Handle user authentication and protect...
Validate CSP from Command Line
2.1.2020
The content security policy spec has been an amazing front-end security tool to help prevent XSS and other types of attacks. I’d go as far to say that every site should implement as specific CSP as possible. If you aren’t familiar with CSPs, here’s a quick example:...

2.1.2020
Čím dál populárnější sociální síť TikTok zveřejnila svoji historicky první zprávu o transparentnosti, ve které informuje, jaké světové vlády během první poloviny roku 2019 žádaly platformu o stažení obsahu uživatelů. Chce tím ukázat, že není ovládána čínskými cenzory, ale že určité požadavky
PSA: It’s That Time to Update the Copyright Year on Your Site
1.1.2020
Every year about this time I see articles going around reminding people how to update the copyright on their websites. Usually somewhere in the footer. You know, a line like:
© Copyright 2007-2019 CSS-Tricks
I am very absolutely not a lawyer, but this is how I understand it:
You don't actually...
What We’re Reading, 2019
1.1.2020
There are so, so, so (so) many things to read out there on the internet. So many, in fact, that it's difficult to keep up with everything.
But, hey, we've got your back! It's our job to surface the best of the best and share it with you right here. That's why it's a good idea to subscribe to this...
One Way to Break Users Out of the Habit of Reloading Too Much
30.12.2019
Page reloads are a thing. Sometimes we refresh a page when we think it’s unresponsive, or believe that new content is available. Sometimes we’re just mad at the dang site and rage-refresh to let it know we’re displeased.
Wouldn’t be nice to know when a user refreshes the page? Not just that,...
So Many Color Links
27.12.2019
There's been a run of tools, articles, and resources about color lately. Please allow me to close a few tabs by rounding them up here for your enjoyment.
Curated colors in context
Happy Hues demonstrates a bunch of color palettes in the context of the site itself. That's a nice way to do...
How Many Websites Should We Build?
27.12.2019
Someone emailed me:
What approach to building a site should I take?
Build a single responsive website
Build a site on a single domain, but detect mobile, and render a separate mobile site
Build a separate mobile site on a subdomain
It's funny how quickly huge industry-defining conversations...
