I’m doing a complete remake of a site, so I try to avoid past mistakes. So many…
One mistake was: designing the complete site for desktop first and for mobile later. I had to change every single item on every page to make it fit for mobile. And sometimes 10-20 items would be stacked on top of each other or so small they were invisible & I had to pry them all apart and resize and place them correctly. For each page… So this time I made three ‘master pages’, each including a mobile version. I even decided to make all page lay-outs (per master) identical: identical positions for pictures, texts etc.
But… as soon as I now start using (duplicating) those templates for making new pages I lose the ability to make universal changes in the position and size of items, even though the lay-outs of the pages are exactly the same. So with every tweak I have to redo that on every page.
(In that sense there are no real Master pages. But maybe I am missing something.)
Is there an alternative way to tackle this problem?
I’m a very happy Sparkle user and learning new things every time. I love the puzzle of (re)designing a site maybe once or twice year, but sometimes I get stuck.
