Having created a website framework, it is possible to prepare a graphic design and animations with the use of CSS3 styles.
First, the default style values need to be set in order to ensure proper functioning on popular web browsers.
HEADER,FOOTER,p,time{display:block}
HEADER,FOOTER,hgroup{clear:both}
form,input{margin:0}
ul{padding:0;list-style-type:none}
label{display:inline-block}
input{padding:0;-moz-border-radius:0;-webkit-border-radius:0;border-radius:0}
th,td,form,label{vertical-align:top}
article{position:relative}
a{color:#000}
a:link{text-decoration:none}
figure{position:relative;display:inline-block;max-width:100%;margin:0}
a > figure{display:block}
img{display:inline-block;max-width:100%;height:auto;border:none;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;-ms-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box}
a img{display:block;cursor:pointer}
video{display:inline-block;max-width:100%;height:auto;border:none;-moz-box-sizing:border-box;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;-ms-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box}
input,textarea,select{outline:none}
input[type=submit]{line-height:normal !important}
iframe{display:block;max-width:100%;border:none}
CSS3 elements can be linked to HTML5 code with the use of identifier (id) or class (class).
HTML5
<div id="identifier" class="class"></div>
CSS3
#identifier{}
.class{}
Popular CSS3 attributes:
- margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px - top, right, bottom, left margin,
- padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px - top, right, bottom, left padding,
- width: 100px - block width,
- height: 100px - block height,
- font: bold 12px/14px arial - font family, size and type,
- color: #000000 - font color,
- background: #000000 url('link to a picture') 50% 50% no-repeat - background color and picture,
- border: 1px solid #000 - border around a block,
- -moz-border-radius: 10px;-webkit-border-radius: 10px;border-radius: 10px - rounded corners,
CSS3 element values can be defined in pixels (px) or percent (%).
To make the website appearance more attractive, it’s a good idea to add icons. I’m using the ready-made set from fontawesome (fontawesome.io):
<span class="fa fa-html5 fa-2x"></span>
The easiest way to make basic animations is to use animate.css library (daneden.github.io/animate.css):
<div class="animated slideInLeft"></div>
