Material Design Lite lets you add a Material Design look and feel to your websites. It doesn’t rely on any JavaScript frameworks and aims to optimize for cross-device use, gracefully degrade in older browsers, and offer an experience that is immediately accessible. The MDL components are created with CSS, JavaScript, and HTML. You can use the components to construct web pages and web apps that are attractive, consistent, and functional. Pages developed with MDL will adhere to modern web design principles like browser portability, device independence, and graceful degradation.
The MDL component library includes new versions of common user interface controls such as buttons, check boxes, and text fields, adapted to follow Material Design concepts. Material Design Lite also includes enhanced and specialized features like cards, column layouts, sliders, spinners, tabs, typography, and more. MDL is free to download and use, and may be used with or without any library or development environment (such as Material Design Lite). It is a cross-browser, cross-OS web developer’s toolkit that can be used by anyone who wants to write more productive, portable, and — most importantly — usable web pages.

It’s the summer and you may be working on some new promotions for a business, a special event, or something else. It’s always a good idea to update your look and banners and flyers should be created that are eye catching. There are plenty of ways for you to create appealing artwork and it has just gotten a whole lot easier thanks to The Hungry JPEG. You don’t have to spend all your time online trying to “steal†different graphics that have been created by other businesses. You want a refreshing look.
There’s an amazing July Summer Bundle for you to take advantage of. It’s only $29, which is a considerable discount from the normal retail price of almost $650. This is a 95% savings! With such a great deal, you can create all of the art work you want for the computer as well as for print promotions. It is such a great price that you can make as much as you wish without having to spend a lot of money.
The bundle includes a total of 28 fonts as well as 19 huge graphic packs. All of the products come with a commercial license for you to use, so you don’t have to worry about any kind of copyright infringement. This collection is only good during the month of July, so once it is expired, it’s gone for good.
There are a lot of graphics for you to choose from, as well as fonts. This means you won’t have to use the same boring fonts that you always use. It is a great way to stand out this summer and make sure people are taking note of what you have to offer. Don’t spend the money hiring a graphic designer to do what you can easily do.
