Power Digital Marketing says "The H1 tag is the most important main heading on a page because it's the highest heading level tag that shows what your page or blog post is about. As a result,...
As I spend more time writing my own framework, it occurs that it really is the only way to meet your exacting needs. Approach this as a developer. The first issue is how your project will appear on various browsers. You can't avoid this, it is impossible. You cannot control what browser users will...
Bulma is a CSS framework that I have used in the past. I was engaged in the framework and developed quite a few websites with the code base, starting with v0.9.4. I did have some concerns ... Bulma is a huge size. I need to make it clear: I do not use any CSS pre-processor. I use the CDN as...

The more I spend time coding for HTML attributes instead of classes, the more I like the direction. Buttons were a lot easier to make classless than I originally thought – plus they fit right in with the "role" attribute, providing an indication for accessibility purposes. Rather than just...
Is it right? Can you still call a framework classless if you use data- attributes? or "roll"? That would look like: <div data-grid> and <div roll="grid"> .... I am going through the process of trying to create a CSS classless framework. I've got some great components already, including...
