Adding Breadcrumbs for Effective Navigation

Out of all of the design elements that make a web page, breadcrumbs tend to be an afterthought. Whether we recognize it or not, however, breadcrumbs play an essential part in your site’s navigation and user experience. Their integration throughout a site helps ground individual sections within the overall hierarchy and provides needed navigational choices for your users.

Using CSS Transitions and Transforms

CSS transitions and transforms have been a staple in the web designer’s toolbox for some time. Both CSS elements give you the ability to create unique, innovative animations and movements all with a couple of changes in your stylesheet. Further, all of this is accomplished without the use of third-party plugins or complicated JavaScript.

Creating a HTML Email Signature

Creating a custom signature is one of those details that can add professionalism to your emails and reinforce your brand. There are, however, complications that can arise when attempting to create a signature due to the intricacies of email clients. Some crafty HTML can help resolve these problems and create a functional email signature.
