I‘m an Interface Designer and Web Developer from Germany. Here are some example of my work at my one-man company
I don’t write much on this blog, but this conference needs a few lines of praise. I’m sitting in the train back home from the great beyond tellerrand conference that took place in Düsseldorf on Monday and Tuesday and some accompanying workshops on Sunday before.
I’m just wondering how to use the header and footer element the right way.
Although those elements are not meant to be presentational I most often find people using a likewise presentational structure for marking up their articles (header always on top, footer at the end) which doesn’t feels right to mee
