6 Design Predictions for 2018 (That Might Actually Happen):
Our design industry predictions for 2017 were amazingly accurate with 79% coming to pass, so we’ve put together a fresh new list for 2018 and we’re asking you to vote. Will WordPress die out? Will skeuomorphism return to the fore? Will AR outstrip VR? Has the AI revolution peaked? Only you can decide. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=xbpxk5u8rirs46psszb2vy9ydd45hmn0fv88v03wo55e5nx0pleju8ql5ci790zj26t0t5e05tihbl5xxq1kp567qf9w2v34a3sw2vuoo3xqs607888ckw17h5i6ui6n3q7tf4xmuh0v2jua9rvolbq2fsivo26g4jphhg9co1tsrdufa2uj0mt8a64z6u0k9see7rrn37ljf50c44vf7mh46tofkoytx8kfgrx98&xi=none_at_none.hu

Skip Ink Underlines and Readability:
We use underlining on the web extensively, to provide emphasis, and more commonly to highlight links. text-decoration:underline clashes with descenders, and border-bottom:1px solid inherit clashes with ascenders, reducing readability for everyone, especially those with learning difficulties. The answer is Skip Ink. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1m9o9isozn3vpzqs1t7pbejhpvbphzh5pqt73il656c1ibf56m9xigzsjwd75f8vcuh8x8aeyvdfs7bstigk48813qfcwg12tsuqqiwpzp3ozgg95uawox13ct852udaz7rn9izjtm6qbx3q9rjg1kdxniy2tta5mhb9co2ozwurp2vfndwax032kegf3gerkckbd2ujs6cnur5fl6c2xhq9hgtfi1ke3nam7u6fhxal3d32ohdj0bfs0whgmt65a&xi=none_at_none.hu

Nixstats:
Nixstats is a powerful new tool for monitoring server performance and uptime. It features custom alerts via email, Slack, SMS, and more. There are plugins, historical data, and a one-glance dashboard that reveals the health of your sites. There’s a free-forever plan available with limited features and 5 monitors included. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=ozpkaj5ts7gtidj7kftec4odb1uyv9jzx0f9iru8s7hokh0t135uem4rv8jdc70zyd1fr5lzb9rs7r0vg0neatu4ihgf2l2qho7xhsfi8gzx1trg5u&xi=none_at_none.hu

2017 in Memes:
If heading back to work after the long Winter break is giving you the blues, take some time out with The Next Web’s collection of the best memes of 2017. You’ll find Covfefe, the blinking white guy, and of course the distracted boyfriend image that was widely pirated and ran as a meme for virtually every news story in 2017. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=2r6xnf95054bcddnuot9i6sqitjmrktcx2xqnb1gm9zkarq7i8vo8ybl8xberz30wzxd95olhfxpvkf5fsmqzrdjbe7or613tmagtpiwg2tzs8yjxqpn77zhlvhq5dyqcuhtliuhkcoyqgb5f0bf9tctvrttu9023riw8oytjkb5uggwh9f9j&xi=none_at_none.hu

5 Design Fears Vanquished With CSS Grid:
CSS Grid is an incredible way of laying out websites. Grid enables design in a way that simply wasn’t possible on the web until now, but to take advantage of its full potential we have to stop designing for out of date limitations that no longer apply. Here are five design restrictions that should be left behind. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=67ak9ze90hr3ev53gw0zedwo2w5kf1ob4vuqiak4xiqyqt0hr48mgcv1zw9orhm0mrdo85l997rgfu4jtx0xyaodt87vnkhyafm04gv2fkgwpdhrsvn6pqqicbo9g8lefg8ycei3odz0mj1yabq36f36u9fub1w42eeo207xh8fbm&xi=none_at_none.hu

The Hell of Designing Your Own Website:
No matter how demented the client, no matter how micromanaged the brief, no matter how great the scope creep, no client job, regardless of difficulty, can ever match the gruelling hell that is designing a site for yourself. Scott Kirkwood discovers the darkest of design experiences, and offers some sage advice. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1el8ec152zlrfmb4bpgsecyx9mg84kjo9smudergm8dmn6mivj9c0kwlavgqsytiaznr5t702jdfgvbgam7nxin1gsbkewub34t91xvi8doxca9j7deo2jld5alga0lujypwqqj78oiy6c19qox20gsltm9n74kp6sg245qfa1plbrgukqg88o7bay7t36eo8un6kofm67cupv8tj0viovofkdw0lhwlbl02rpq35hb99ep6s2r5v1gfngw44msv9y5g&xi=none_at_none.hu

The Pain of Waiting:
No one likes waiting for an app or service to load, but the unfortunate truth is that sometimes—thanks to a slow connection, server updates, or a millions other possible bottlenecks—we all have to sit through progress indicators. In this humorous article Mike Ziethlow looks at the pros and cons of seven types of progress indicator. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1el8ec152zlrfmb4bpgsecyx9mg84kjeq9miuz800z1vnw8p3gp0akebh0xyw34fh9dcpwq5go0wdhxclckvzy8x6dc21l0r61yy9ztbwf9fvma0pao5een3uzyldzre6fj6q7ohbnibwdyg01yxcsuadhq3o2ts5qf55x6lzip4v8t9ztfpo19qrswdj7u188ksjcooo7byumxrvvc8fi3ugji2a8t71xcs06nvc8zf62kwee6pt230es86dleuwnjm&xi=none_at_none.hu

The Best Case Studies of 2017:
How was your 2017? How many projects delivered what you hoped, how many fell short? Understanding a designer’s thought-processes is an invaluable experience. Here, the Case Study Club’s Jan Wennesland selects seven case studies that stood out as insightful, inspirational, and thought-provoking, in the last 12 months. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1h1wsx0lqyeq81gpn9f1u1s4sv5upg4eb5x6tkah26qcb9i1156caf4ml0b1vxs04e282gpfddc279snqcihrj0kzky2w1jcew822u3kijh0jnmckw25vbus0c5i31w8evwsa73hildpydlo6j5trmuaiiec95dea3x75lacud6xul7hetmox3vu5cs4pkdodjc&xi=none_at_none.hu

Voice UI Making its Way Into Business:
One of the biggest criticisms of voice UI is that while you may be happy asking stupid questions of your phone in the privacy of your own home, you’re less likely to blurt out your queries in a serious, business environment. Tech Crunch reports that although it’s still uncommon to find voice UI in business, it is starting to happen. http://news.webdesignerdepot.com/?xtl=1vaguxj7ctvvzx6p9vpqgq85jq6bx6zj7d7hdv7o6g4wikcvcoq91l7kc5mn1a7o5ji4vdd3rzmrtv04exv5q0s4d91gwgo8ftbepyy58lhqtcn3ob59tkukj27cnue0futbkofvyq9ow7cvpkuut3ms3292wlbc45dwfv43nl9f2asrhgtkke2f8zodja0m2jfkt3l8u81ys39cwujdusbugdwp4wth1o&xi=none_at_none.hu
