The Goldilocks Approach to Responsive Web Design
"However, if you base your entire design on this base font size (using ems), then as it increases or decreases, so will your design. Using ems allows your designs to be resolution independent."

A design for strife
"Budd has a different name for it, 'loss aversion', but his explanation is very similar: 'People expect the pain of losing something to be greater than the value gained from its replacement,' he says. Consequently, new sites have to be significantly better than the old ones to overcome that initial subconscious recoil."

Testing Content
"Whether the purpose of your site is to convince people to do something, to buy something, or simply to inform, testing only whether they can find information or complete transactions is a missed opportunity: Is the content appropriate for the audience? Can they read and understand what you’ve written?" from A List Apart.

Smartphone Browser Landscape
"Most web designers and developers (not to mention the entire blogosphere) fall squarely in the high-end market. A cultural bias exists against OSs aimed at any other market. As a result, most people focus on the struggle between iOS and Android, and ignore the rest. This has to change." from A List Apart.

Contrast is King
"Using contrast effectively not only differentiates our site's design from others, it’s the essential ingredient that can make our content accessible to every viewer, including the colorblind. By understanding contrast, we can create websites that unabashedly revel in color." from A List Apart.

Is modern web design too like print design?
If I was standing in 1995 and looking ahead to 2009 and was told how all of those technical restrictions would be lifted, of what would be technically possible, I’d imagine 2009’s web to look a lot more exciting than it does.

Taking the Guesswork Out of Design
A solid and common understanding of goals, organization, layout, personality, and fit and finish will create an environment in which you (and the project owner) can rely on rigorously discussed and well documented ideas. Together, you’ll create smaller margins of error, purposeful exploration, fewer broken expectations, and, ultimately, a better design.
