I ditched DreamWeaver awhile ago. I use Coda or TextMate now. They come with color schemes preinstalled.

hi – it’s zoltan from the-affair.

thanks for the post and props. we began with a very simple insight that dressing rooms have full length mirrors for a reason, and that we wanted to add a cart that matched in interactivity the simplicity and sophistication we were aiming for in the rest of the site.

unfortunately our budget didn’t stretch to full credit card authorisation and we had to use paypal. i agree it breaks the experience, but from a biz perspective it cannot be beaten for authenticity and (relative) simplicity.

anyway we’ve just been featured in a new book on non-trad e-commerce sites called iCatching. You should get yourself a copy, there’s some nice stuff in there, or you can read a bit more about it here:

Comment on What do you listen to? by Treborn

Great question!

Music is around no matter where I go. Even at work. Music plays a big role in my work speed. When I clean around the house, I listen to Wade O Radio or Pandora.com. Something upbeat that makes me think.

When I drive, I’m usually playing new music, or if I don’t have anything new, I’m bumpin that 1-1-Six!

I was in a bad mood earlier today so I threw on some chill music like Radiohead. Switched my tude quickly.

I work at Starbucks so I hear music even if I don’t want to. Depending on the time of day I prefer different playlists. Definitely no Bob Marley @ 5am – that just doesn’t work for some reason. The best kind of music for me at work is something Ambient like Nightmares on Wax or Husky Rescue. Something melodic with tons of instrumentation and a beat.

Music has a great power over people and I think it’s like friends. Peer pressure. Influence. We need to surround ourselves with positivity. Friends and Music.

For me it depends on what type of time frame im on. If it’s something leisurely im working on that doesnt necessarily have to be done right away, i like to listen to relaxing, calm, meditative type music. One band ive come across lately (thanks to noah at work) is one called “Over the Rhine”. He qualifies them as bluegrass…and i just find them extremely relaxing. However, when im on a tight deadline…i really have to find some hype music (anything from Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon) or maybe some oldschool Bone Thugs -n- Harmony or DMX (grrrr, arf arf).

Looks great!

I bet those tabs only took like 5 seconds to do, right?

I listen to music based more upon my mood and workload rather than the individual project. During the middle of the day when I have phone calls, emails and IM’s non-stop i like something calming that serves more as background music. Coldplay, Depeche Mode are favorites to get work done to, maybe a movie soundtrack score or r&b too. When things are calmer, and I’m working on an individual project, either designing or developing, I like something heavier, usually hip hop. I like to put on CDs I’m really into, or something new that i want to give a good listen. I find I can really get into the music and the work will just finish itself. It doesn’t matter if its a layout for a nursing home or a hip hop site, the music remains the same. Chamillionaire while designing a layout for Alzheimer’s disease, or Linkin Park while developing a hip hop store… sure! It doesn’t matter to me. If it puts me in the right zone then the work will come out right, thats what’s important to me.

Sweet site, slow from here in the US but I love the “open space” feel and contrast of the shirts against the blackness.

Comment on Which do you prefer? by Rich

I know that doing “inline” CSS cuts down on white-space and that it loads faster, but I prefer to use the “Dreamweaver” approach. I find it easier to read and find the attribute that I’m looking for. Admittedly, though, if an element only has 2 or 3 attributes on it, then I’ll keep it inline.
