Podcasts For Web Designers Worth Listening - good ole Smashing Mag again!

As timely as ever Smashing Mag have just posted an article on Podcasts for Web Designers, and as my time is now more precious I think it appropriate to try some of these gems.

The Path to Performance, for example, is a podcast dedicated to fostering a culture around web performance in organizations. It often features interviews with people who have successfully integrated performance as part of their culture and the benefits they have seen.

Responsive Web Design Podcast is dedicated to responsive redesigns; Viewsources Podcast is dedicated to front-end development and design workflows and if you're looking for something slightly less technical, Unfinished Business, talks about pretty much everything web (and not web) related, hosted by Andrew Clarke.

Responsive Umbraco & Bootstrap site - Whitecapltd.com update

The latest version of Bootstrap is more refined and promising, currently working on a brokerage area for the Whitecap site, and hope to rip all the guts out and re-do with the latest Bootstrap very soon.

Will post how it goes..

Responsive Umbraco & Bootstrap site - Whitecapltd.com

Just thought I'd drop a post up here about using my experience using Twitter bootstrap, and Umbraco CMS to put together a website for Whitecap Associates - Yacht brokerage, management and build Whitecapltd.com, the idea being to create a responsive website with CMS, that will expand as and when the company require.

It was more complicated than I thought it would be, but after we at Noko incorporated the Zurb Foundation grid system into bootstrap, it all began to take shape. After realising that the best way to style the pages is to add a additional stylesheet, as a final layer of css levels, to overwrite and update the default values, it turned out ok.

Still have a few items that need a good polish, ie. a current state on the navigation, and a few minor tweaks here and there, overall though I'm pleased with the results.

Just grab the side of your browser and squash it narrow to see the mobile device view. www.whitecapltd.com
