Part I. http://www.core74.org/12/2008/when-there-is-a-lack-of-graphical-art-plain-text-will-save-you-part-i.html http://www.core74.org/12/2008/when-there-is-a-lack-of-graphical-art-plain-text-will-save-you-part-i.html#comments Sat, 13 Dec 2008 16:04:46 +0000 Dave http://www.core74.org/?p=427 Of course this isn’t true. For instance, look at the main WordPress website, can you see any graphical elements other than the logo,.,mm,.not really! So what’s the power that makes this website so great? Let me enlighten you a bit, it’s the well chosen (web)font and the positioning of the text.

A well chosen web-font in combination with a well chosen text placement can make all the difference. I will try to make a good looking website using only html & css based techniques without any Photoshop build images. Give me a few weeks and I will try to stun you.

Of Course there is nothing wrong using a table and this is just a test-case, and people with visibility disorders are really left in the dark, and who knows how Google will index the page without loosing track etc etc, but, it was real fun.

Look mom, no tables!
