New Design (Now with Responsive Goodness!)


A few months ago I stumbled across this awesome book called Responsive Web Design. No lies, this book seriously changed my life. It changed the way I looked at websites, and I was absolutely fascinated by the way media queries and responsive web sites work. I found myself looking at responsive websites and resizing the browser window for hours on end seeing how the site adjusted to the viewport size.

Ethan Marcotte's Responsive Web Design

Are you remotely interested in web design? Do you like smartphones? FUCKING BUY THIS BOOK.

That’s why I spent the last month or so working on a responsive web site that I could call my own. At the same time I decided to ‘re-brand’ my site to “tetchi” (my nickname since I was a kid) because it sounds way more wicked than “tetsutakara”. Today, I’m releasing my responsive web site out in the wild!

I’m currently working on a boilerplate for Shopify, which is based off of the excellent HTML5 Boilerplate. The goal is to make it easier for Shopify theme authors to start building a theme from scratch. I then plan on building a super-basic theme with it and an up-to-date “How to build a theme from scratch” screencast for it.

Anyway, hope my first responsive website works as it should. Please leave a comment if it looks funky on your device!

PS: I may have lost some recent comments as I transitioned to this new site… sorry! Please leave another comment and I’ll try to get back to you.
