    Thanks a lot for the sharing @Tonic! I have 1 question @5:59 : How can i fit the 12 columns with 32px apart into a 1200px width? The column width should be 70.666px in order to fit to that setting. How would you overcome that? Thanks.

    • @WalkieJVC
      @WalkieJVC Před 2 dny

      40px padding on left and right, 32 px gutter, 12 columns. Content width should be 1120px at that breakpoint assuming you have static and not dynamic resizing.

    Great video, but I don't understand how you go from wireframe to such a different result in terms of design. It's easy to imagine the siteplan to wireframe, but wireframe to design direction is surprising, and designdirection to final result is even more impressive, as it looks like a complete reorganisation of the page.

    Maybe im not getting something here but. Your viewport on the "Check" Frame is 568px. If you then open this in the figma mobile app this obviosly gets scaled to the smarthones viewport. So the h1 for example is not 40px.

    Hello Tom, I’ve recently begun working with HTML to design emails, and so far, everything has been going well. I’m truly grateful for your tutorials-they’ve been incredibly helpful. However, I’ve encountered a problem: when I check the email on my iPhone, the images appear broken. Strangely, on other platforms and different operating systems, I don’t encounter this issue. I’m wondering if there’s a solution or any tips that could help me address this issue. Thank you once again for your guidance and support! 😊

    The major difference between a typeface and a font is that Times New Roman(Roman=Regular) at two different sizes( say 32px and 48px ) are still the same typeface but are two different fonts.

    You should actually use the microfone that is right in front of you haha. Love the content but the audio quality is so bad on all of these. It sounds a bit like you used a noise reduction tool wrongly or used a macbook mic. Please also use the good mic that is right in front of you next time.

      Glad you like the content. This is using the mic that is right in front 🤣. The issue is the room and the lack of curtains and carpet etc we think. Our latest 3 videos have better sound - one from me with a different mic and two from Nick using this same mic but in a room that doesn’t have a cork floor. Hopefully they’re better 👍

    Thanks for sharing! I consider myself a beginner in this area, and going through videos like these has been so helpful in breaking down that endless research mentality and just putting something together already 😅 Cheers for that. I’m curious, do you have specific breakpoint sizes you develop for on the three screens: desktop, tablet, and mobile?

    • @wearestudiotonic
      @wearestudiotonic Před 3 měsíci

      Hey, we’re glad you enjoyed the video. Yes we use the default breakpoints set by Webflow (as we are a Webflow exclusive studio). These are desktop 991px and above, tablet 991-767px, mobile landscape 767-478 and mobile portrait 478 and down. We always design our desktop sites at 1440px width with either a 1200px or 1280px container.
