Design Challenges, CSS Answers
We’ve all seen designs that take our breath away. In the past, these beautiful designs, when translated to the web, were often very image-heavy. In addition to slower load times, there was less effective SEO and decreased accessibility on top of the production bottlenecks caused by inevitable client changes.
