Compass & SASS

“A living cell requires energy not only for all its functions, but also for the maintenance of its structure.” - Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

Anything worth growing requires proper maintenance. Without maintenance, things become obsolete and outdated. Why? Because everything in the world changes. Things improve and new upgrades are released after the product has been built.

Web Design focuses more on the front-end look and feel of a website. The front-end is what your visitors/users will see. It is what makes your website unique and that creativity will help users remember your business and keep them coming back for more.

The focus of web development is the back-end features and functionality of a website. Developers make the vision of the Web Designers come to life. Web developers learned programming languages like PHP, Javascript, or ASP to create logical algorithms to make features and interactions possible.

There are many open source frameworks that are released to make theming simpler. One of the problems that themers / front-end developers usually face is the amount of CSS3 features that many want to use, but not all of the different browsers has the capability of getting it working correctly. Therefore, CSS preprocessors like Compass and SASS makes this possible by having predefined mixins, variables, rules and inheritance that are similar to the concepts of Object Oriented Programming.
