A new version of the HTML 5 draft is currently available. It has been published yesterday (9th of September 2009) and is still in its working note form. It is interesting to read about the conception of this new version of the future web. Most of it is based on the HTML Design Principles that [...]
Welcome to the Web Design Bureau of Mauritius new “Chit Chat” corner where there will be a lot of nonsense or senseless banter. I needed a part of this blog to be more open to diverse subjects that were not really Web Design oriented. This will also let allow me to get some flow out [...]
The Web Design Bureau of Mauritius has made it to its first showcase gallery over the web. After the last HTML 5 redesign of the Web Design Bureau, the WordPress theme running this blog has been submitted to the HTML5Gallery, the premier HTML 5 showcase and it has been listed. There’s still a lot to [...]
Some months ago I was promoting this entry on the major presence of typography in web design: 95% of web design is typography. It is true and proven that typography is what builds layout. The major problem with typography is that the average visitor is used to the stock fonts found on the Windows. Now [...]
So, here is a humoristic approach to the trends making the day on the web. You have surely understood that we are talking about the lists trend. It seems like every site and especially blogs has a type of list in its branch. A list of shops, a list of tools, a list of inspirational [...]

Not any kind of visibility but some core HTML/CSS/Design reviews of their work to be able to get the possible clients to come to their sites. This is usually done through showcase websites. These websites are showrooms where the best [...]
So, here we are. As I was saying only 10 days after the launch of the new Microsoft search engine, Bing was catching up on Yahoo!’s market. This has been the final blow to the 18 months of love-hate affair between these two companies. Yahoo! yields and has accepted the partnership with Microsoft. Why is [...]
Let’s have some fun in doing SEO. This will also help the readers understand and discuss SEO and even do some research on it. I have found the official article of a Mauritian company specialising in Web design and SEO and they have an article on the subject (this has actually been copied from another [...]
All of my company’s network is down today. So I took some time to open a folder and re-read some chapters I kept around from diverse books. I happenned to come by a quote I did from Mark Boulton’s Five Simple Steps on the use of web applications that made me ponder on how we, [...]
