| <h1>This is still a simple website.</h1> | |
| <h2>Seriously, it takes minimal effort to improve this.</h2> | |
| <p><strong>7 fucking declarations.</strong></p> | |
| <p>That's how much CSS it took to turn that <a href="http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/">grotesque pile of shit</a> into this easy-to-read masterpiece. It's so fucking simple and it still has all the glory of the original perfect-ass website:</p> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Shit's still lightweight and loads fast</li> | |
| <li>Still fits on all your shitty screens</li> | |
| <li>Still looks the same in all your shitty browsers</li> | |
| <li>The motherfucker's still accessible to every asshole that visits your site</li> | |
| <li>Shit's still legible and gets your fucking point across</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h3>And guess what, motherfucker:</h3> | |
| <p>You never knew it, but it's easy to improve readability on your site. Here's how.</p> | |
| <h2>Let it breathe</h2> | |
| <p>Look at lines 1 and 2 of some shitty website you're building. Assuming they're not married they probably shouldn't be humping. The defaults are trash -- pick a minimum line-height: 1.6 for body copy. Headings should be tighter. If you can't see that...piss off.</p> | |
| <p>If your text hits the side of the browser, fuck off forever. You ever see a book like that? Yes? What a shitty book.</p> | |
| <h2>A little less contrast</h2> | |
| <p>Black on white? How often do you see that kind of contrast in real life? Tone it down a bit, asshole.</p> | |
| <h2>Size Matters</h2> | |
| <p>I know your partner says otherwise, but it's true. Bump that body copy to render close to 16px or more. Smaller type works well for print, not the screen.</p> | |
| <h2>Line-width, motherfucker</h2> | |
| <p>Looking at an LCD screen is strainful enough. Don't make me read a line of text that's 200 fucking characters long. Keep it to a nice 60-80 and users might actually read more than one sentence of your worthless dribble.</p> | |
| <h3>Yes, this is also fucking satire, you fuck</h3> | |
| <p>I love what the creator of <a href="http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/">this site's inspiration</a> did. What I'm saying is that it's so, so simple to make sites easier to read. Websites are broken by default, they are functional, high-performing, and accessible, but they're also fucking ugly. You and all the other web designers out there need to make them not total shit.</p>"You're a fucking moron if you use default browser styles."<br> | |
