Christmas is over but I thought we at web design company London, would give away a little something even though it is mid January. I’ve created an Ecommerce website design template in HTML5 and implemented quite a few CSS3 animations. Included is both the original CSS and an un-minified version, the PSD that creates the sprite. It includes 6 web templates, homepage, product grid, main product view, view basket, login, shipping information. Feel free to browse the online demos: For now there is only support for IE8 and up. I might revisit this and...

You know how you see all these great looking sleek UIs on websites giving away free PSDs. But how many people do actually sit down and create a form in CSS that actually looks like that? So I decided, why not instead of giving away a free PSD we give away the free form CSS itself. All the CSS and graphics you will need to build your own forms.

Adding more z-indexes to new menu items would be far to complicated. Sure, we could probably add some server side code or even javascript to make a dynamic class, but I thought to myself surely there must...

It has been a difficult year for all of us as it is, and to top it all up Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple Macintosh computers and our hero of tech has this week passed away. Even one of our newest top of the range iMacs died yesterday as if it was coming out in sympathy from the departing of its great creator. A recent email sent directly to Steve Jobs by myself was not replied to and had already raised my suspicions that there was something terribly wrong....

If you’ve experienced this problem (position:absolute disappearing in ie) you are probably ready to pull your hair out. It is completely random, sometimes it disappears sometime it appears. It works in IE6 but not 7 then on another computer it works in 7 but not 8 and 6. So what is the problem? Have a look at this header: In this example what I wanted was a logo (1), a registration/checkout area (2), a navigation (3) and a search form (4).
