sexy sophisticated sites May 14, 08, 12:29 p.m.

So I have a client who keeps repeating these two words like a mantra when she describes the look and feel her website should have. But of course she can't point to anything that accurately depicts the aesthetic, so she's asked me for some suggestions as a starting point in terms of stlye.

So far I've come up with
http://www.bacardi.com/#/us/en-u…

and

http://absolut.com/

They're really targeting club goers and the club scene in general. It's an energy drink that they're selling.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Learning CSS? May 8, 08, 10:26 a.m.

Hey all,

I'm a graphic designer and have been doing online work for about 10 years now. I've always had other people around to code my work, and though I know the limitations of HTML and how to design within them, I've never really learned how to code my own page.

It's about time I remedy that. Can any of you suggest a good resource to get me started? I mean from the basics on up. I know A list apart and other resources are great for intermediate skilled coders, but I really need to start with the basics. Preferably in graduated step by step format.

Any suggestions?
