Recently, our team discussed heavily on style guides. When and How to implement style guides? Why is it important to have style guides? Is it only applicable for the design team only, and what about developers and managers? But let’s take a step back and look into what a style guide actually is?
Transition effects are not to be underestimated, as it aids the user in knowing that something is happening or loading. These effects are part of micro-interactions, which we have addressed in our sister blog, Stampede Curated.

Animation is important in today’s trend as it brings the sense of interaction between the users and the website or application. Be it simple or complicated, the least you should have is a hover effect on the buttons of your website.
You may have spotted some cool effects seen on websites such as Nation or Keep Portland Weird, where two or more layers of overlays are animated across the page to reveal underlying content.

It is inarguably faster compared to most shared hosting. Since then, I’ve been setting up most websites using DigitalOcean, Laravel, WordPress, Virtual Servers and many more.

It’s finally here! Well this was last week but there’s no harm in being excited. The big news is that jQuery 3.0 will become the only version of jQuery. The 1.12 and 2.2 branches will continue to receive critical support patches for a while, but will not get any new features or major revisions.
Despite the 3.0 version number, these releases shouldn’t be too much trouble when it comes to upgrading existing code. Don’t worry much on the complexity of migrating to the new version of jQuery, the devs were fairly kind to provide a guide and also a plugin to check compatibility issues before you migrate your codes.
Note that jQuery 3.0 will not support IE6-8. If you need IE6-8 support, you can continue to use the latest 1.12 release.
Adobe has just launched its news suite called Adobe Spark! It was launched last night (local time) and we think it’s big and useful! On mobile, it is actually an upgrade of the three apps that Adobe has been operating.
Style guides have no fixed definition as its meaning changes depending on what area it is applied to. However, one thing that all style guides have in common is its usage; to provide a general guideline for the team to refer to. This gives the team a base of mutual understanding on what needs to be done. It can also be used across departments between developers, designers and project managers.
