Meow Smashing Friends,

At Smashing, we’ve been busy over the last few months. We’ve set up new workshops, redesigned our navigation, refined performance and improved accessibility. There are subtle UX changes coming in, and we’d love to share what we’ve been cooking. Settle in.

New Online Workshops (Apr–July)

We’ve run 40 workshops with 2.600 attendees so far, and we’ve learned how to run a workshop where you learn best. So for the next months, we’ve set up a full schedule of online workshops on front-end and design, from performance to UX. Jump to all workshops ↬

New Navigation (Beta Testing)

With so many articles on the site, finding the right articles can be difficult. So for the last weeks, we’ve been going through 3.500 articles and manually refining and standardizing the underlying taxonomy of our posts.

Meet the new navigation on SmashingMag — we'd love to hear your feedback on Twitter, of course!

That was quite an exercise in patience and hard work — but now we are happy to roll out the new navigation, with important navigation options surfaced prominently across the entire site. Jump to the new navigation ↬

New Evergreen Guides (Beta Testing)

We have also rolled out new article formats — evegreen guides. These are the articles with curated articles, tutorials, tools and resources that we keep updating regularly. There are a few more of those coming up, but they should be a reliable source of techniques and tools.

Here’s what we’ve published so far:

• Accessible Front-End Components
• CSS Auditing Tools
• CSS Generators
• HTML Email
• SVG Generators
• Vanilla JavaScript
• Front-End Performance 2021
• Debugging in DevTools

You can also access the guide on the new Smashing Magazine's frontpage, although some UI/UX changes will be coming in there as well. Feedback? We are listening on Twitter. Jump to the new homepage ↬
