These webpages aim to show you a few tips and techniques to add some texture of visual interest to otherwise flat or static website elements. Both of the things we'll discuss, glossy buttons and CSS transforms, are relatively simple techniques that can be endlessly tweaked to create unique site elements.



Buttons: A new dimension!


Some rely on purely text elements for navigation items/links, but if you want to add visual interest and texture to your site, you might want to consider buttons. Pretty, pretty buttons. We're going to show you how to make buttons that you might want to use in your own designs.



CSS3: Transformational?


In addition to using buttons to enhance a site's texture you can use some new CSS3 features. SS3 can enable simple transitions and transformations without spending a ton of time in applications like Flash or Photoshop.
