IcoMoon
This way cool little app lets you create your own icon fonts from vectors and from other icon fonts. Say you don’t want to use all the icons in a font collection, the browser still has to load the entire font. With IcoMoon, you can create an icon font just with the icons that you are using. Check it out.

Blog Tag Laravel | Big Name
Here are some video tutorials about laravel. They seem to be made for beginners and I appreciate that. I especially think that the one about deploying your website to different environments and the one about folder structure are rather interesting and useful.

Tools of a Kind
There are two web tools that I like to use together to figure out my typography. It is not a perfect solution, but it can be quite helpful.
Gridlover + Font Friend Bookmarklet
Gridlover gives you some great sample text that you can adjust as needed and font-friend lets you try out what your web fonts look like in the browser as well as all the google web fonts. Give it a try!

Prototype
This prototype is created with html5, scss, compass, javascript, and Zurb foundation. What is great about creating the prototype in the browser is that when it is done I can build the actual site on it. I does take quite a bit longer, but in the long run I think that it will be worth it.

Icon Font
I have seen tons of icon fonts being created latlely. I have even turned a font that I created into an icon font for me to use on site. This is not the font that I created, but it is one that was created to go along with the framework that I am using. It is rather limited in it’s selection, so I may try another, but it will definitely work for the prototyping.
