List-O-Matic: Make Pretty Lists

Author: Mitch Keeler

When it comes to creating pretty lists via a little HTML here and a little CSS there, a lot of the design ideas and techniques can go over many heads out there. That is why I am happy to see tools like List-O-Matic have made this process a heck of a lot easier.

No matter if you are a CSS web design master or just a guy with your first web site you should be able to use this tool with no issues at all. All you need to do is visit the web site, follow the steps, pick a design and you are good to go.

Once you are finished, you are given both the list HTML code that you can copy and paste into your web site and the CSS needed to make it all look right. Now this tool is not just a cheap way out of a difficult process, oh no. You could also use what it exports as a learning tool so that you can see how all of these features come together and work.

For your Lunar-homework – try creating a list, and then change around a few elements of the CSS it gave you to see how that changes the appearance of the list. Keep doing this and hey – who knows. You might not even need the good ol’ List-O-Matic any longer.
