A List Apart Magazine
Dispensing wisdom, insight, and occasional controversy since 1998, Happy Cog’s A List Apart explores the design, development, and meaning of web content, with a special focus on web standards and best practices.
We want to change the way our readers work, whether that means introducing a revolutionary CSS technique with dozens of potential applications, challenging the design community to ditch bad practices, or refuting common wisdom about, say, screen readers.
If there is a way to make websites faster, smarter, and more effective; to enrich, deepen, and simplify user experience; and to deliver not just brand or functionality but value and memorability, you will find it in our pages. (See “A Guide for New Readers” for key starting points.)
Published twice monthly and read by millions, A List Apart is both a carefully edited and beautifully designed magazine and a hub for the professional community worldwide. You can read about Happy Cog’s redesign and restructuring of A List Apart elsewhere on this site.
