During the previous part of this series , we learned about the Behance API, using it to capture a user's portfolio pieces and display them on a web page. In this part we will style the web page, presenting the portfolio pieces in a suitably attractive way. Tools We'll be Using To get started, we will prepare our toolkit: Normalize We will use Normalize to make the basic element styles more consistent across different browsers and minimize the chance of unexpected results. LESS Mixins Libraries We will also be using LESS for styling our website. Whichever preprocessor you prefer, it's definitely recommendable to use them in your workflow. I'm a big fan of, instead of having to trawl the desired color in the color picker from a separate application, simply using LESS control functions such as lighten() and darken() to give us a range of color variants. To help us further, we will use LESSHat to help us write less code with its Mixins collection. We will also use Remixins developed by Christopher Ramírez. Remixins is a collection of Mixins to convert px into rem units in.
