Tips for Web Designers / Developers

Below you will find tutorials and best practice methods for creating flexible and accessible web sites.

I don’t claim ownership over any of the techniques listed here(even though some are mine), they are simply a collection of ideas that I have found to ‘work’, so enjoy.
