We’ve done a massive update to The Index so I thought I’d just share that with you. We’ve redesigned the email template, along with all of the web templates. We’re loving it and I hope you do too.

There’s lots to love here. I really like the typography and layout grids. I also like that when you view source, you can actually read the markup.

When the new CSS attr() stuff arrived, I immediately thought “finally, we can keep stagger animations from the markup,” but I was wrong. Turns out this is the way instead. Exciting stuff.

I love how this design goes against the norms of a typical event site and how Graphic Design™ it is.

A really interesting breakdown of an often used, but often misunderstood (in my case) header.

Progressive enhancement, native HTML controls and web components. What’s not to love?

P.S. this is a good demo.

Thanks for reading this issue of The Index. You can get future updates by subscribing. If you’re enjoying The Index, we’d really appreciate it if you shared this issue with your friends too.

Until the next issue, take it easy 👋
