New Design and a New Tool - hluska.ca
This post introduces the latest update to hluska.ca along with the launch of a new accessibility-focused tool: SCSS Contrast – WCAG Grid. Designed for productive beginners like me, the tool generates a visual matrix of color contrast ratios based on your SCSS variables. I share the origin story of the tool, thank the friends who helped refine it, and outline what’s coming next in its development.
New Design and a New Tool - hluska.ca
It's been a year since I last redesigned hluska.ca and I have learned a huge amount since. My design skills were terrible - so terrible that I found myself losing interest in my own sites. But the fitness tracker project really convinced me that I need to skill up. And the more skill I gained, the more uncomfortable I got with my existing sites. This was the last one that I redesigned and I am very happy with the results.
New hluska.ca
Some people spend their Canada Day long weekend camping. Others spend it golfing or having barbecues with their families. I spend mine pushing a redesigned version of my website. After a few small snags, it's up and launched.
Pushing an Update
I just pushed a redesign of hluska.ca. As expected, it works well...except for the part that didn't. So don't be surprised if things are a little strange for the next day or two.
Redesigning hluska.ca
I'm not a very good designer so I always find redesigning my website difficult, but this time around, I've noticed how incredibly complicated the modern stack is...even if you just want to design your own website.
