First HTML5 site
Three years ago, I did the original site for Sisters Ugly, a downtown clothing store for women. They moved to a new location on Division this spring and accordingly wanted to freshen things up. I was actually quite fond of the old site, but the new site is quite a bit brighter and matches the new look of their store.
Several gee-whiz things about the site to love. This is my first commercial site to use HTML 5. Granted, I’m not using all the features HTML 5 is capable of, but the basic structure uses the new, more meaningful tags. The stylesheet also uses several new attributes from CSS 3.
Other bells and whistles:
- Cufon for custom fonts in navigation without manual image generation (yes, this can be done with CSS 3, but I don’t hate old browsers that much).
- Facebook Connect for comments.
