There’s no F11 key for awesome website
on March 21, 2012
A colleague of mine and I used say, there’s no F11 key for awesome design. This means good design takes work, and while your keyboard has a key for volume up, brightness, etc. – there’s no key for awesome design. And there’s no F11 key for awesome website either.
Building, managing, and maintaining your own website takes a bit of work, and like anything worth doing, putting in the extra time and effort to get the little things right – good copywriting, good images – makes a ton of difference. Your website will be better for it.
I’ll be writing a few tutorials on how to do some of the little things to make your site better. It’ll mostly be based around managing a WordPress based website, but most will apply to any type of CMS. Images, HTML, Links. I’m happy to help. If you want to see a specific tutorial, leave a comment and I’ll see if it’s up my alley.
Oh, and why did we choose F11? Because these go to 11, of course:
Hmm, does no one else spot the other F11 correlation here?
As far as I\’ve seen F11 makes all major browsers (that I\’ve tried it in) full-screen. I was sure that was the intended reference when I saw the title.
F11 on my keyboard is for volume down. So maybe it\’s F11 for awesome quiet website.
Function commands are the secondary function of the button (you have to hold Fn to get it) and then it is indeed fullscreen on a browser. Not sure what else its meant to do! Perhaps it means \’ you can\’t make design be without context, i.e. filling the users viewport.
F11 as volume-down is very mac-centric!!!
You have great points here and thanks for making tutorials I really appreciate it.
