Hey, I'm Rob Mayes, I'm a freelance designer from Clevedon, just outside Bristol. I specialise in web and user interface design but I like to play with logo's or a bit of ink from time to time.

I've been designing and building quite a few responsive websites lately. On a few occasions I've found the need to know exactly how wide the browser window viewport is so I built myself this little counter using CSS media queries. Since creating it I've found it pretty damn handy so thought I'd share it! Full Post

On the odd occasion I find myself looking for a character code I seem to always stumble a little, they always take that little bit too long to find. So I've pulled this list together from various different places around the web. All the characters I'm ever likely to need in one place, and where else to put them other than my toolbox for all to use. Let me know if I'm missing any.Full Post

I'm not really a font geek but I do love a good typeface in the morning. I can't think of a web project lately where I've not used atleast one custom font, and a few people have asked me how I go about it so I felt it would make a good toolbox tutorial.Full Post

Web page mock ups in a PDF or printed document always look so much better wrapped up in a browser window. And of course, it helps the client visualise how the final product will look. I don't put every mock up in a browser, sometimes its easier and more worthwhile to set the preview up in a quick HTML file, but I do use browser mock ups often enough to warrant having at least one of each major browser in a PSD so I thought I'd share them in my toolbox.Full Post
