THE ROAD TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Littering a dark and dreary road lay the past relics of browser-specific tags,
incompatible DOMs, broken CSS support, and abandoned browsers.

We must clear the mind of the past. Web enlightenment has been achieved thanks
to the tireless efforts of folk like the W3C, WaSP, and the major browser
creators.

The CSS Zen Garden invites you to relax and meditate on the important lessons of
the masters. Begin to see with clarity. Learn to use the time-honored techniques
in new and invigorating fashion. Become one with the web.


SO WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

There is a continuing need to show the power of CSS. The Zen Garden aims to
excite, inspire, and encourage participation. To begin, view some of the
existing designs in the list. Clicking on any one will load the style sheet into
this very page. The HTML remains the same, the only thing that has changed is
the external CSS file. Yes, really.

CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document.
The only way this can be illustrated in a way that gets people excited is by
demonstrating what it can truly be, once the reins are placed in the hands of
those able to create beauty from structure. Designers and coders alike have
contributed to the beauty of the web; we can always push it further.


PARTICIPATION

Strong visual design has always been our focus. You are modifying this page, so
strong CSS skills are necessary too, but the example files are commented well
enough that even CSS novices can use them as starting points. Please see the CSS
Resource Guide for advanced tutorials and tips on working with CSS.

You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML. This may
seem daunting at first if you’ve never worked this way before, but follow the
listed links to learn more, and use the sample files as a guide.

Download the sample HTML and CSS to work on a copy locally. Once you have
completed your masterpiece (and please, don’t submit half-finished work) upload
your CSS file to a web server under your control. Send us a link to an archive
of that file and all associated assets, and if we choose to use it we will
download it and place it on our server.


BENEFITS

Why participate? For recognition, inspiration, and a resource we can all refer
to showing people how amazing CSS really can be. This site serves as equal parts
inspiration for those working on the web today, learning tool for those who will
be tomorrow, and gallery of future techniques we can all look forward to.


REQUIREMENTS

Where possible, we would like to see mostly CSS 1 & 2 usage. CSS 3 & 4 should be
limited to widely-supported elements only, or strong fallbacks should be
provided. The CSS Zen Garden is about functional, practical CSS and not the
latest bleeding-edge tricks viewable by 2% of the browsing public. The only real
requirement we have is that your CSS validates.

Luckily, designing this way shows how well various browsers have implemented CSS
by now. When sticking to the guidelines you should see fairly consistent results
across most modern browsers. Due to the sheer number of user agents on the web
these days — especially when you factor in mobile — pixel-perfect layouts may
not be possible across every platform. That’s okay, but do test in as many as
you can. Your design should work in at least IE9+ and the latest Chrome,
Firefox, iOS and Android browsers (run by over 90% of the population).

We ask that you submit original artwork. Please respect copyright laws. Please
keep objectionable material to a minimum, and try to incorporate unique and
interesting visual themes to your work. We’re well past the point of needing
another garden-related design.

This is a learning exercise as well as a demonstration. You retain full
copyright on your graphics (with limited exceptions, see submission guidelines),
but we ask you release your CSS under a Creative Commons license identical to
the one on this site so that others may learn from your work.
