Bulma

bulma.io

Creating a typeface from scratch is a designer's rite of passage. I was too lazy so I wrote a CSS framework instead.

Inspired by Bootstrap, Bulma aims at offering everyone the joy of website design, through the simplicity of flebox, the elegance of Sass, and the experience of a CSS Guru.

MarkSheet v2

marksheet.io

Throughout years of front-end design, I have acquired both a reasonable set of CSS skills and an unwavering desire to share my knowledge.

This free tutorial is my humble attempt to contribute to the community-driven information platform that the Web is and always will be.

Ivan Ballini Estates

When Ivan asked me to design and code his real estate website, his sole and primary focus was to emphasize the main asset that drives users: pictures.

Rarely have I had the privilege to work with such high quality content, which ultimately what design is all about.

jgthms.com/css-off-2013

I've always wanted to evaluate my CSS skills against fellow designers.

I came across this single page coding test, which unfortunately was never reviewed by anyone.

JukeTube

jgthms.com/juketube

Jumping on the Angular JS hype train, I came up with a simple project to test out a new technology while providing something relatively useful and fun.

Using the YouTube API, JukeTube allows to easily queue and play videos, like an amateur and poor DJ.

bbxdesign

bbxdesign.com

My oldest and still (relatively) active website.

What started off as a simple WordPress blog has throughout the years suffered from enjoyed cyclical changes and drastic code rewrites, until I switched to writing in English and publishing with GitHub.

Cambodia Vietnam 2010

cambodiavietnam2010.com

Even before going on this trip in South East Asia, I had in mind a single page website where each city would be granted its own unique design.

After a lot of delays, the website was finalised almost 2 years after its inception and embodies my first decently sized jQuery project.

Yeek

yeek.fr

My first attempt at a passive income website: a simple collection of affiliated links.

This project has shown that in e-commerce especially, marketing sometimes overshadows content.

Editions Magellan

editions-magellan.com

My first freelance project: a travel book publisher based in Paris.

A complete solution with both front and backend, and up this day, one of my favourite graphical design.

bbxworld

jgthms.com/bbxworld

My first CSS website but already dealing with floating columns, background sprites, and IE hacks.

Although a lot has changed in years, I was already attracted by the idea of CSS being simple but not easy.
