Veerle Pieters has published a tutorial series entitled “Designing a CSS Template”, which makes a refreshing change from many existing tutorials in concentrating on design first, and only discussing implementation using CSS towards the end. It’s available in four parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.
And speaking of design, I came across a great example of fresh CSS design today in the form of Bastiaan Terhorst’s Vivified. It’s striking to say the least. And to think that just a year ago people were still writing off CSS as resulting in design work that was boxy and uninspired. Times have certainly changed.

Just wanted to thank everyone for these golden links and articles. It’s about time someone took the time to explain the process from start to finish. Especially with a standard as important as CSS.

Thanks to all, especially to Simon for pointing out Veerle’s tutorial series & to Veerle for writing such a great tut. I’m now thinking of abandoning tables for my page layouts. ;)
