In mid-2016 we embarked on a journey through Smashing Magazine’s relaunch, taking on a challenge of redesigning, rebuilding and reinventing the magazine from scratch. In this webinar, Vitaly will be sharing some front-end/UX insights into Smashing Magazine’s Relaunch — with decisions made, failures, successes, lessons learned and shady’n’dirty techniques used along the way.
60 mins talk + 30 mins Q&A.
You can watch a recording later, too.
With Vitaly Friedman
You’ve been there: big bang redesigns are usually a very, very bad idea. Redesigning and rebuilding an existing website from scratch is risky and unpredictable, and in many cases the level of complexity is highly underrated and underestimated. In mid-2016, Smashing Magazine decided to make a big switch from the existing WordPress setup to an entirely new design, entirely new architecture (JAM Stack) and an entirely new, GitHub-based, editorial workflow.
In this webinar, Vitaly Friedman, the co-founder of Smashing Magazine, will share some of the insights into Smashing Magazine’s Relaunch in 2017 — with decisions made, failures, successes, lessons learned and shady’n’dirty techniques used along the way.
Among other things, you’ll learn how we use HTTP/2, service workers and server-less architecture with static site generators to boost performance, with a dash of React, Flexbox, CSS and the peek into the new GitHub-based editorial workflow here and there. Beware: the session will contain at least 27 illustrations of cats!
Format: 60 mins session + 30 mins conversation.
No chit-chat, no small talk. Only practical insights that you can actually learn from and take back to your company. By the end of the presentation, you will:
