Learn the basic principles of modular design, and then put them into action to create sites that are easy to use, look great, and can be adapted within the context of your business needs.
With author James Cabrera-one of the thought leaders in the modular-design movement-you''ll create a single, scalable project for a sample nameplate site and then adapt that same project to work successfully as a portfolio site, an e-commerce site, and finally as a news/publishing content site. Along the way, you''ll learn the scientific approach to devising a sound and scalable design strategy, followed by establishing a basic foundation using various criteria relevant to that type of site. As each chapter progresses, you''ll add new concepts appropriate for the project type.
Modular web and app design isn''t just for so-called creatives. It''s a teachable science with principles that can be replicated in a creative manner. This approach makes the design decision
