CSS preprocessors are all the rage at the moment. After much umm'ing and ahh'ing we settled on Less, mostly because it is used in Twitters Bootstrap project which we had just began using. The basic idea of a preprocessor is to bring some of the niceties like variables and functions to CSS that are then compiled into a normal CSS file. In a simple usage case you can imagine wanting to change a commonly used colour on your site. Working directly with CSS you would need to search and replace every instance of that colour when it is used in a situation that is now incorrect. Working with a preprocessor you can change a variable which will then cascaded throughout the file when it is compiled down. Compare the various preprocessors and take one for a spin.

Laying the groundwork for your site revamp

Posted by Development on 23-01-2012

So you stare at your existing site. You stare at the blank piece of paper in front of you. If you have other stakeholders their input is usually limited to vague hand waving at your competitors sites and an assertion that things need to be "better".
