CSS Developer Asks a Discussion Forum for Input

A CSS developer used Grid to put different tools and borders together. They shared their work in an online discussion group related to coding in CSS. The designer wanted to know what other CSS coders thought about it.

One person said they liked it a lot. They offered a recommendation to the original poster to increase the font size. A different person said that the original poster clearly does a good job at coding but has a poor sense of design. They would hire the person to code but not design things. They said the original poster's work was too cluttered and had no visual anchor.

Another person concurred with the critical commentator. They thought the site had poor readability. To them, it looked like the original poster was trying to recreate something that already exists in CSS, and the result was extra work and a less-than-ideal outcome. They suggested that the original poster needs bigger text, a graphical hierarchy and a limit of one line of code per segment in a vertical orientation for easier readability.

An individual who reviewed the original poster's look commented about title sections that seem to have no connection with what is under them. They also noted that hover and focus states are needed on the items that can be clicked. This person recommended that the original poster run an AxE accessibility test in order to make sure that their design renders well in mobile environments and that a person who is using a screen reader will be able to get any use out of it.

One person noted several issues. Many of the embedded links go to an empty site. They also said that the original poster shouldn't use a dotted line to underline elements. The color scheme was not creative. Finally, this person took a look at the person's handle on the overall site and noticed that a lot of their comments were less than professional. This commentator also took a look at the original poster's Twitter feed and noted crass comments. Based on what they saw, this person wouldn't hire them.
