Learning web design
I posted this question over on fedi and it occurs that I ought to check here as well. It's been some years since I last truly tried designing a web page but I'm reaching the latter bits of an html/css/layout tutorial and have found myself pondering next steps. Which has me wondering if anyone knows of any web sites, books, or videos that look are less, "Make this specific web page layout," or, "use this specific prebuild css framework," and more looking at the process of starting from a clean sheet of paper (or a screen of blank pixels) and building up from there. Or collected wisdom along the lines of, "So you want to make a blog post page? Here's some common pitfalls that initially seem sensible to avoid and collected wisdom for not designing something sucky." I know way back when I poked around Eric Meyer's web site a lot and that seems to still exist, but where else might I look for good practices?
