okay, so from my various trolls through mammoth google searches to learn bits about coding, i’ve discovered a few wonderful resources out there which actually do some of ( and in some cases, a lot of ) the hard work for you…
these are otherwise known as code generators… here are a few of my faves;;
( NB/ all of the generators are pure CSS – no javascript is needed… )
CSS3 generator – includes generators for; border radius, box shadow, text shadow, rgba, font face, multiple columns, box resize, box sizing, outline, transition, transform, flexbox and gradient
EnjoyCSS – is another multi option generator and will give great live previews with a ton of options – includes; blocks, buttons, text, gradients, backgrounds, shadows, border radius, transition, transformation
CSS3maker – is again, another multi option generator – includes; border radius, gradient, transform, animation, transition, rgba, text shadow, box shadow, text rotation, fontface
Layerstyles – for those of you who use photoshop, this is the editor for you! it will generate CSS code from a PS like editor that should be very familiar – includes; drop shadow, inner shadow, background, border, border radius
Westciv – includes options to generate; gradients, text properties, box properties, transformations
here are some individual generators which give a little more detail and flexibility with the options;
