So, researching a question just now, I turned up yet another utterly fucking unreadable #Zendesk support page.
Yo! Zendesk, quit allfuckingready with the templates with greyed out skinny-ass fonts for support pages, 'coz that shit don't read.
Yo! Zendesk customers: Stop tweaking your fucking Zendesk templates into even *MORE* unreadable-ass shit than they are by default.
This is a motherfucking web page, or at least my take:
And whilst talking web design, a set of principles I've been settling on:
So, that #Zendesk site I was ranting about yesterday....
I'd found their contact info and sent a ... "friendly" note about the layout.
They're kicking the can at Zendesk.
I've suggested that this being *THEIR* set of support pages, they might actually want to look at the issue themselves.
But Zendesk really ought to have better fucking defaults.
@FiXato I think I added another to deal with image positioning.
The point is NOT the absolute rule count, though of course fewer is, within the limits of achieved results, better. It's about creating a sane, flexible, adaptable, widely-useful, readable result.
I'll note that my variant on the theme is more styled than most, though again, the rulesets are simple and the goal is to overcome failings in browser defaults *without* creating more problems.
I _think_ I succeed.
