<p>&#8220;You need options. Anyone that’s spent time collaborating on web design projects knows that every developer has their own processes — even with best practices being observed there is variation in techniques. So your CSS library should give you more than one way to attack a problem.</p>
<p>Website layouts can be a serious pain, but CSS gives you a great deal of flexibility in how you approach the layout issue. Often the home page needs a grid design while post pages have a three column layout, with other formats for custom pages. With CSS layouts already in place, you can quickly implement a layout and change as needed.</p>
<p>The following is a collection of layout libraries you can add to your own with multi-​​column static and liquid layouts. Enjoy and let us know which ones you like best!&#8221;<br />

<p>After a week of working on the base template structure of the Joomla template. VC-BASE was born. This template base was build upon the famous 960 grid system, this grid system nicely added a more structural base to what we are going to build later on. VC-Base are still under beta development, we will launch the download file once we can take times to test this on. Developer or Designer are welcome to join the party. Please leave me a comment or drop me an email if you want to have this nail down.<br />
<span id="more-537"></span></p>
<div class="steps">
<h3>So you will ask what had we complete</h3>
<p>Auto Right Left Column, this function giving the user easily to disable any right or left side module and the template will auto fill it with the proper grid. Auto Center Module, this allow us to control as many module as we want, calculate and divide evenly. Putting proper inner grid to every 960 grid, giving it more padding and spaces for you to customize in the future.</p>
<p>I have created a dedicated development folder/URL for the VC_BASE. <a href="http://joomla.designersandbox.com/base/" target="_blank">http://joomla.designersandbox.com/base/</a></p>

<p>Just got a brief for one of my web project, the creative team from this company would like to embed a different fonts to its website. They simply don&#8217;t want the ordinary fonts, surely we have warn them and try very hard to convince them that using other fonts may break other part of the web. Since the designer insist on using that particular font in there layout, so as a professional developer we have some tricks in our closets just in time to implement something like this. Let me introduce you to typeface.js<br />
<span id="more-470"></span></p>
<div class="steps">
<h3>typeface.js is easy to use</h3>
<p>Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site&#8217;s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally. Here&#8217;s what it takes to get going: load the typeface.js library and some typeface.js fonts, then proceed like normal:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml;">
&lt;script src=&quot;typeface-0.14.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script src=&quot;helvetiker_regular.typeface.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;typeface-js&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Helvetiker&quot;&gt;
	Text here in Helvetiker font...
&lt;/div&gt;
</pre>
</div>
<div class="steps">
<h3>Creating your own set of custom fonts using typeface.js</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-475" title="upload_convert" src="http://www.designersandbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/upload_convert.png" alt="upload_convert" width="500" height="300" /><br />
The typeface.js include 3 fonts for download and use. Helvetiker, Optimer, Gentilis.<br />
<a href="http://typeface.neocracy.org/fonts.html" target="_blank">http://typeface.neocracy.org/fonts.html</a><br />
To generate your own set of fonts, prepare the font that you want to covert, and upload it to the above link. After the upload it will take you to another page to select the type that require for your fonts sets, by default the whole range are select. If you want to decrease some of the file sizing, uncheck some of the unuse element.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-476" title="download" src="http://www.designersandbox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/download.png" alt="download" width="500" height="300" /></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a collection of jQuery form enhancement. If you want to spice up the look of your form this is the post you should be looking at. jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.<br />

<h2>Adding Skin to your Forms</h2>
<div class="steps">

<h3>6. Emblematiq Niceforms</h3>
<p>You basically know a web form when you see one as they always look the same and they’ve kept this look over the years. Try as hard as you might but web forms can only change their appearance so much.

Niceforms comes to the rescue!<br />

This means you can use the jQuery Slider plugin alongside other input elements in a form and submit or serialize the form as if the slider is not even there. This also allows the slider to work with our without javascript since the select element can be used if the slider is unavailable.<br />
