Will Bowling Design Portfolio // Made with CSS-jQuery-PHP-Blueprint
Welcome to My Portfolio!
This site will be going through some changes as the days/weeks progress. I feel its time to update the design to reflect my own personal growth in the last couple of years. Plus a Designer is never happy with their design. :) Check back soon and thanks for stopping by!
My Latest Project
Tables? Why Tables?
Ever since I taught myself HTML circa 1994, I have been using tables. Untill NOW! I personally came to the understanding, with the help of a GREAT teacher, that by using CSS to position divs/boxes in the browser window, leaving as much text as possible for the search engines to discover and ridding embedded tables all together, one can acheive a Table-Less design!
This proves VERY important for forwards compatability. Lets just say that you have a 300 page website that consists of sliced images and endless tables. Lets say that you decide you want to alter the appearance of the paragraph spacing and the fonts throughout the entire site. It would take forever! With Cascading Style Sheets and proper semantics, one could easily change these things with a few lines of code.
Designing with CSS and Why
DOMs and CSS support have come a long way since the beginning of the "Browser Wars." The W3C, WaSP, and major browser creators have endured tireless effort allowing future web designers the freedom of CSS support throughout most new browsers.
This Portfolio will reflect the Growing use of CSS within my work. I want to join the ranks of those before me; Spreading the news of the benifits and forthcomings of using CSS in web design.
