About

That Standards Guy is the online persona of Karl Dawson, a web developer living and working in Ipswich, England.

I'm a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers and the Web Standards Group and team member at Accessites—an awards site to recognise accessible and usable websites.

I specialise as a front-end developer and worry about the minutae of semantic (X)HTML and CSS, accessibility, microformats, typographic rhythm and grid design. I also care about the user experience and remind myself constantly of visitor site goals when working with clients and their aims.

That Standards Guy is proudly powered by WordPress using my own “StrictlyTSG v3.0” theme. Site Policies.

KuraFire Network has FACE

December 19th, 2005

I actually spotted this via Flickr at the weekend… Faruk Ateş over at Kurafire has released version 8 of his website with some real sweet animation. What’s particularly interesting is that he’s used CSS and JavaScript to achieve said effects. He’s dubbed this FACE - Faruk’s Animated CSS Enhancements and has made the whole thing available in a zip file for you to try at home.

There are some wonderful effects going on in places and what appeals to me is the web standards approach - everything degrades nicely with JavaScript disabled and also that you’re not locked into using something like Flash that requires a plugin that has accessibility problems.

Head over to KuraFire Network now and keep an eye out for the 21 effects he and Tim Hofman have created.

*gasp* It’s full of stars…. ;)
