Useful CSS snippets

A collection of nice CSS tricks, most of which are in use on this website. Pinch yourself and remember all the cool new CSS features we have now, no more floats! I love you grid and flex.

I made my first websites at around 14, and while it's never been my full-time job I've developed a number of commercial websites over the years at SGS. I think web dev is in an amazing place with CSS grid, core web vitals and so many free tools out there. It's a great time to be a web developer, and I'm excited to see where the industry goes next. With so much innovation happening in the world of web development, it's an exciting time to be a part of the industry.
