Vor fast anderthalb Jahren haben wir CSS-Design online gestellt. Seitdem haben wir viel über CSS dazugelernt - genug jedenfalls, um zu sehen, daß ein gründliches Redesign dieser Seiten notwendig wurde. Unsere Besucher sehen davon wenig - die Optik der alten Layouts ist fast ohne Änderung erhalten geblieben, und auch die Texte haben wir nicht umgeschrieben. Umso größer sind die Veränderungen unter der Oberfläche.

The medium is the message: Imagine providing unique information exclusively for people who read your site via a web-enabled cell phone — then crafting a different message for those who are reading a printout instead of the screen. Let your context guide your content. All it takes is some user-centric marketing savvy and a dash of CSS.
