Every first impression counts, and when it comes to business correspondence, a thoughtfully crafted letterhead is like a firm handshake. It’s not just decoration; it’s a visual ambassador for your brand, setting the tone for every piece of communication that comes through. Picture it: a sleek, branded letterhead landing on your desk, already whispering professionalism, trust, and creativity before you even begin reading. That’s the power of a well-designed letterhead. It frames your words with a professional edge and, most importantly, a memorable personality.
So, why does letterhead matter so much? A good letterhead subtly communicates the essence of your brand. For a law firm, it might convey a sense of reliability and clarity, while a hotel’s letterhead might feel inviting and sophisticated, nodding to the hospitality it represents. For each industry, the design can emphasize distinct qualities, whether it’s a clean, corporate style for consultancy firms or a splash of color and flair for creative agencies.
And here’s the best part—finding inspiration isn’t hard. To make the process easier, we’ve curated some of the best examples across various industries, blending style with function. You’ll find two free-to-download templates in each category for those who want something stylish without breaking the bank, along with one premium option for those looking to invest a bit more in a unique touch.
Let’s get into the list, where each example shows how letterhead design can be more than just a header—it can become an extension of your brand’s voice.
Over the last ten years, software development has seen significant changes. These were mostly driven by advancements in technology and increasing demands for faster and more efficient delivery.
The adoption of cloud computing has been a key factor in this transformation, as it provided developers with scalable resources that allow for faster iterations and quicker market entry without heavy initial investment.
Additionally, the introduction of virtual private networks and the possibility to use VPN free trial have become crucial for improving security, especially for global teams. Such tools have enabled developers to protect data by encrypting transfers and masking IP addresses.
Among all these advances, the introduction of DevOps seems to have brought the biggest changes. This system merges development and operations teams, breaking down traditional silos and significantly shortening the development lifecycle.
Accordingly, it would be interesting to take a better look at how software development has been changed and improved by DevOps.
The Shift to DevOps
DevOps facilitates a cohesive work environment where code changes are perfectly integrated and deployed.
This system leverages automation for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), ensuring that new code is rigorously tested and promptly released into production environments. The result is a reduction in the time required to move from coding to deployment.
With DevOps, software updates and new features are deployed with greater frequency. This responsiveness is critical in adapting quickly to market changes or user feedback.
Such practices integrate well with agile methodologies, which focus on iterative development, frequent feedback, and the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.
Key Technologies in DevOps
Docker is a foundational platform in this respect. This technology ensures that applications are packaged in containers, allowing them to be deployed consistently across various computing environments.
In the realm of automation, Jenkins and GitLab CI stand out. These tools automate the steps in software building, testing, and deployment workflows, which is something that enables frequent updates and maintaining high standards of quality without sacrificing speed.
Version control systems like Git are indispensable in DevOps environments. Git allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase without interfering with each other’s tasks. It tracks every change by each contributor and merges changes in a controlled manner.
The Benefits of DevOps
Having in mind what was mentioned above, it has become pretty clear that DevOps has introduced numerous benefits. Some of them, however, stand out more than others.
Reduced Development Cycles
By integrating development and operations teams, DevOps eliminates many traditional bottlenecks, facilitating a smoother, faster workflow. Automation of repetitive tasks further speeds up this process, freeing developers to focus on more strategic work that adds value to the project.
Improved Quality Assurance
Quality assurance gains a new dimension in DevOps environments. Automated testing ensures continuous scrutiny of the code as it is developed. This allows teams to identify and address bugs much earlier than traditional methods.
Enhanced Team Collaboration
This approach fosters a culture of shared responsibilities and goals. The enhanced collaboration leads to better communication, more innovative problem-solving, and a cohesive team environment.
Challenges and Considerations
The transition to this methodology might also involve certain challenges and considerations that organizations must address to fully harness its potential.
Cultural Resistance : Adopting DevOps can meet resistance from teams accustomed to traditionaldevelopment and operations models.
Solution : Organizations can mitigate this resistance through effective communication and comprehensive training programs.
Security concerns : The accelerated development cycles in DevOps can sometimes result in security oversights, as rapid deployment may prioritize speed over thorough security checks
Solution : To address this, integrating security practices directly into the DevOps pipeline is essential. This approach ensures that security considerations are embedded from the outset and throughout the lifecycle of the project, rather than being an afterthought.
Continuous integration and deployment issues: Continuous integration and deployment are central to DevOps but can introduce complexities, especially in larger projects with multiple dependencies.
Solution : Regularly reviewing and updating deployment practices can help in identifying and resolving potential issues early on.
Conclusion
DevOps has truly transformed software development. By promoting collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement, it addresses the demands of modern software projects. While challenges exist, the benefits of faster delivery, improved quality, and enhanced teamwork make DevOps an essential strategy for today’s development teams
A whole bunch of years ago, we posted on this idea here on CSS-Tricks. We figured it was time to update that and do the subject justice.
Imagine a scenario where you need to split a layout in half. Content on the left and content on the right. Basically two equal height columns are needed inside of a container. Each side takes up exactly half of the container, creating a distinct break between one. Like many things in CSS, there are a number of ways to go about this and we’re going to go over many of them right now!
One simple way we can create the appearance of a changing background is to use gradients. Half of the background is set to one color and the other half another color. Rather than fade from one color to another, a zero-space color stop is set in the middle.
This works with a single container element. However, that also means that it will take working with floats or possibly some other layout method if content needs to fill both sides of the container.
Using Absolute Positioning
Another route might be to set up two containers inside of a parent container, position them absolutely, split them up in halves using percentages, then apply the backgrounds. The benefit here is that now we have two separate containers that can hold their own content.
Absolute positioning is sometimes a perfect solution, and sometimes untenable. The parent container here will need to have a set height, and setting heights is often bad news for content (content changes!). Not to mention absolute positioned elements are out of the document flow. So it would be hard to get this to work while, say, pushing down other content below it.
Using (fake) Tables
Yeah, yeah, tables are so old school (not to mention fraught with accessibility issues and layout inflexibility). Well, using the display: table-cell; property can actually be a handy way to create this layout without writing table markup in HTML. In short, we turn our semantic parent container into a table, then the child containers into cells inside the table — all in CSS!
You could even change the display properties at breakpoints pretty easily here, making the sides stack on smaller screens. display: table; (and friends) is supported as far back as IE 8 and even old Android, so it’s pretty safe!
Using Floats
We can use our good friend the float to arrange the containers beside each other. The benefit here is that it avoids absolute positioning (which as we noted, can be messy).
In this example, we’re explicitly setting heights to get them to be even. But you don’t really get that ability with floats by default. You could use the background gradient trick we already covered so they just look even. Or look at fancy negative margin tricks and the like.
Also, remember you may need to clear the floats on the parent element to keep the document flow happy.
Using Inline-Block
If clearing elements after floats seems like a burden, then using display: inline-block is another option. The trick here is to make sure that the elements for the individual sides have no breaks or whitespace in between them in the HTML. Otherwise, that space will be rendered as a literal space and the second half will break and fall.
Again there is nothing about inline-block that helps us equalize the heights of the sides, so you’ll have to be explicit about that.
There are also other potential ways to deal with that spacing problem described above.
Using this method, we turn our parent container into a flexible box with the child containers taking up an equal share of the space. No need to set widths or heights! Flexbox just knows what to do, because the defaults are set up perfectly for this. For instance, flex-direction: row; and align-items: stretch; is what we’re after, but those are the defaults so we don’t have to set them. To make sure they are even though, setting flex: 1; on the sides is a good plan. That forces them to take up equal shares of the space.
In this demo we’re making the side flex containers as well, just for fun, to handle the vertical and horizontal centering.
Using Grid Layout
For those living on the bleeding edge, the CSS Grid Layout technique is like the Flexbox and Table methods merged into one. In other words, a container is defined, then split into columns and cells which can be filled flexibly with child elements.
CSS Anchor Positioning
This started rolling out in 2024 and we’re still waiting for full browser support. But we can use CSS Anchor Positioning to “attach” one element to another — even if those two elements are completely unrelated in the markup.
The idea is that we have one element that’s registered as an “anchor” and another element that’s the “target” of that anchor. It’s like the target element is pinned to the anchor. And we get to control where we pin it!
This sets up an .anchor and establishes a relationship with a .target element. From here, we can tell the target which side of the anchor it should pin to.

You’d be forgiven for thinking coding up both a dark and a light mode at once is a lot of work. You have to remember @media queries based on prefers-color-scheme as well as extra complications that arise when letting visitors choose whether they want light or dark mode separately from the OS setting. And let’s not forget the color palette itself! Switching from a “light” mode to a “dark” mode may involve new variations to get the right amount of contrast for an accessible experience.
It is indeed a lot of work. But I’m here to tell you it’s now a lot simpler with modern CSS!
Default HTML color scheme(s)
We all know the “naked” HTML theme even if we rarely see it as we’ve already applied a CSS reset or our favorite boilerplate CSS before we even open localhost. But here’s a news flash: HTML doesn’t only have the standard black-on-white theme, there is also a native white-on-black version.
If you want to create a dark mode interface, this is a great base to work with and saves you from having to account for annoying details, like dark inputs, buttons, and other interactive elements.
Switching color schemes automatically based on OS preference
Without any @mediaqueries — or any other CSS at all — if all we did was declare color-scheme: light dark on the root element, the page will apply either the light or dark color scheme automatically by looking at the visitor’s operating system (OS) preferences. Most OSes have a built-in accessibility setting for your preferred color scheme — “light”, “dark”, or even “auto” — and browsers respect that setting.
html {
color-scheme: light dark;
}
We can even accomplish this without CSS directly in the HTML document in a <meta> tag:
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
Whether you go with CSS or the HTML route, it doesn’t matter — they both work the same way: telling the browser to make both light and dark schemes available and apply the one that matches the visitor’s preferences. We don’t even need to litter our styles with prefers-color-scheme instances simply to swap colors because the logic is built right in!
You can apply light or dark values to the color-scheme property. At the same time, I’d say that setting color-scheme: light is redundant, as this is the default color scheme with or without declaring it.
You can, of course, control the <meta> tag or the CSS property with JavaScript.
There’s also the possibility of applying the color-scheme property on specific elements instead of the entire page in one fell swoop. Then again, that means you are required to explicitly declare an element’s color and background-color properties; otherwise the element is transparent and inherits its text color from its parent element.
What values should you give it? Try:
Default text and background color variables
The “black” colors of these native themes aren’t always completely black but are often off-black, making the contrast a little easier on the eyes. It’s worth noting, too, that there’s variation in the blackness of “black” between browsers.
What is very useful is that this default not-pure-black and maybe-not-pure-white background-color and text color are available as <system-color> variables. They also flip their color values automatically with color-scheme!
They are: Canvas and CanvasText.
These two variables can be used anywhere in your CSS to call up the current default background color (Canvas) or text color (CanvasText) based on the current color scheme. If you’re familiar with the currentColor value in CSS, it seems to function similarly. CanvasText, meanwhile, remains the default text color in that it can’t be changed the way currentColor changes when you assign something to color.
In the following examples, the only change is the color-scheme property:
Not bad! There are many, many more of these system variables. They are case-insensitive, often written in camelCase or PascalCase for readability. MDN lists 19 <system-color> variables and I’m dropping them in below for reference.
Open to view 19 system color names and descriptions
AccentColor: The background color for accented user interface controls
AccentColorText: The text color for accented user interface controls
ActiveText: The text color of active links
ButtonBorder: The base border color for controls
ButtonFace: The background color for controls
ButtonText: The text color for controls
Canvas: The background color of an application’s content or documents
CanvasText: The text color used in an application’s content or documents
Field: The background color for input fields
FieldText: The text color inside form input fields
GrayText: The text color for disabled items (e.g., a disabled control)
Highlight: The background color for selected items
HighlightText: The text color for selected items
LinkText: The text color used for non-active, non-visited links
Mark: The background color for text marked up in a <mark> element
MarkText: The text color for text marked up in a <mark> element
SelectedItem: The background color for selected items (e.g., a selected checkbox)
SelectedItemText: The text color for selected items
VisitedText: The text visited links
Cool, right? There are many of them! There are, unfortunately, also discrepancies as far as how these color keywords are used and rendered between different OSes and browsers. Even though “evergreen” browsers arguably support all of them, they don’t all actually match what they’re supposed to, and fail to flip with the CSS color-scheme property as they should.
Egor Kloos (also known as dutchcelt) is keeping an eye on the current status of system colors, including which ones exist and the browsers that support them, something he does as part of a classless CSS framework cleverly called system.css.
Declaring colors for both modes together
OK good, so now you have a page that auto-magically flips dark and light colors according to system preferences. Whether you choose to use these system colors or not is up to you. I just like to point out that “dark” doesn’t always have to mean pure “black” just as “light” doesn’t have to mean pure “white.” There are lots more colors to pair together!
But what’s the best or simplest way to declare colors so they work in both light and dark mode?
In my subjective reverse-best order:
Third place: Declare color opacity
You could keep all the same background colors in dark and light modes, but declare them with an opacity (i.e. rgb(128 0 0 / 0.5) or #80000080). Then they’ll have the Canvas color shine through.
It’s unusable in this way for text colors, and you may end up with somewhat muted colors. But it is a nice easy way to get some theming done fast. I did this for the code blocks on this old light and dark mode demo.
Second place: Use color-mix()
Like this:
color-mix(in oklab, Canvas 75%, RebeccaPurple);
Similar (but also different) to using opacity to mute a color is mixing colors in CSS. We can even mix the system color variables! For example, one of the colors can be either Canvas or CanvasText so that the background color always mixes with Canvas and the text color always mixes with CanvasText.
We now have the CSS color-mix() function to help us with this. The first argument in the function defines the color space where the color mixing happens. For example, we can tell the function that we are working in the OKLAB color space, which is a rectangular color space like sRGB making it ideal to mix with sRGB color values for predictable results. You can certainly mix colors from different color spaces — the OKLAB/sRGB combination happens to work for me in this instance.
The second and third arguments are the colors you want to mix, and in what proportion. Proportions are optional but expressed in percentages. Without declaring a proportion, the mix is an even 50%-50% split. If you add percentages for both colors and they don’t match up to 100%, it does a little math for you to prevent breakages.
The color-mix() approach is useful if you’re happy to keep the same hues and color saturations regardless of whether the mode is light or dark.
In this example, as you change the value of the hue slider, you’ll see color changes in the themed boxes, following the theme color but mixed with Canvas and CanvasText:
You may have noticed that I used OKLCH and HSL color spaces in that last example. You may also have noticed that the HSL-based theme color and the themed paragraph were a lot more “flashy” as you moved the hue slider.
I’ve declared colors using a polar color space, like HSL, for years, loving that you can easily take a hue and go up or down the saturation and lightness scales based on need. But, I concede that it’s problematic if you’re working with multiple hues while trying to achieve consistent perceived lightness and saturation across them all. It can be difficult to provide ample contrast across a spectrum of colors with HSL.
The OKLCH color space is also polar just like HSL, with the same benefits. You can pick your hue and use the chroma value (which is a bit like saturation in HSL) and the lightness scales accurately in the same way. Both OKLCH and OKLAB are designed to better match what our eyes perceive in terms of brightness and color compared to transitioning between colors in the sRGB space.
While these color spaces may not explicitly answer the age-old question, Is my blue the same as your blue? the colors are much more consistent and require less finicking when you decide to base your whole website’s palette on a different theme color. With these color spaces, the contrasts between the computed colors remain much the same.
First place (winner!): Use light-dark()
Like this:
light-dark(lavender, saddlebrown);
With the previous color-mix() example, if you choose a pale lavender in light mode, its dark mode counterpart is very dark lavender.
The light-dark() function, conversely, provides complete control. You might want that element to be pale lavender in light mode and a deep burnt sienna brown in dark mode. Why not? You can still use color-mix() within light-dark() if you like — declare the colors however you like, and gain much more fine-grained control over your colors.
Feel free to experiment in the following editable demo:
Using color-scheme: light dark; — or the corresponding meta tag in HTML on your page —is a prerequisite for the light-dark() function because it allows the function to respect a person’s system preference, or whichever single light or dark value you have set on color-scheme.
Another consideration is that light-dark() is newly available across browsers, with just over 80% coverage across all users at the time I’m writing this. So, you might consider including a fallback in your CSS for browsers that lack support for the function.
What makes using color-scheme and light-dark() better than using @media queries?
@media queries have been excellent tools, but using them to query prefers-color-scheme only ever follows the preference set within the person’s operating system. This is fine until you (rightfully) want to offer the visitor more choices, decoupled from whether they prefer the UI on their device to be dark or light.
We’re already capable of doing that, of course. We’ve become used to a lot of jiggery-pokery with extra CSS classes, using duplicated styles, or employing custom properties to make it happen.
The joy of using color-scheme is threefold:
It gives you the basic monochrome dark mode for free!
It can natively do the mode switching based on OS mode preference.
You can use JavaScript to toggle between light and dark mode, and the colors declared in the light-dark() functions will follow it.
Light, dark, and auto mode controls
Essentially, all we are doing is setting one of three options for whether the color-scheme is light, dark, or updates auto-matically.
I advise offering all three as discrete options, as it removes some complications for you! Any new visitor to the site will likely be in auto mode because accepting the visitor’s OS setting is the least jarring default state. You then give that person the choice to stay with that or swap it out for a different color scheme. This way, there’s no need to sniff out what mode someone prefers to, for example, display the correct icon on a toggle and make it perform the correct action. There is also no need to keep an event listener on prefers-color-scheme in case of changes — your color-scheme: light dark declaration in CSS handles that for you.
Adjusting color-scheme in pure CSS
Yes, this is totally possible! But the approach comes with a few caveats:
You can’t use <button> — only radio inputs, or <options> in a <select> element.
It only works on a per page basis, not per website, which means changes are lost on reload or refresh.
The browser needs to support the :has() pseudo-selector. Most modern browsers do, but some folks using older devices might miss out on the experience.
Using the :has() pseudo-selector
This approach is almost alarmingly simple and is fantastic for a simple one-pager! Most of the heavy lifting is done with this:
The second and third rulesets above look for an attribute called value on any element that has “light” or “dark” assigned to it, then change the color-scheme to match only if that element is :checked.
This approach is not very efficient if you have a huge page full of elements. In those cases, it’s better to be more specific. In the following two examples, the CSS selectors check for value only within an element containing id="mode-switcher".
html:has(#mode-switcher [value="light"]:checked) { color-scheme: light }
/* Did you know you don't need the ";" for a one-liner? Now you do! */
Using a <select> element:
Using <input type="radio">:
We could theoretically use checkboxes for this, but since checkboxes are not supposed to be used for mutually exclusive options, I won’t provide an example here. What happens in the case of more than one option being checked? The last matching CSS declaration wins (which is dark in the examples above).
JavaScript should only do what only JavaScript can do.
This is exactly that kind of situation.
If you want to allow visitors to change the color scheme using buttons, or you would like the option to be saved the next time the visitor comes to the site, then we do need at least some JavaScript. Rather than using the :has() pseudo-selector in CSS, we have a few alternative approaches for changing the color-scheme when we add JavaScript to the mix.
Using <meta> tags
If you have set your color-scheme within a meta tag in the <head> of your HTML:
<meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark">
…you might start by making a useful constant like so:
And then you can manipulate that, assigning it light or dark as you see fit:
colorScheme.setAttribute("content", "light"); // to light mode
colorScheme.setAttribute("content", "dark"); // to dark mode
colorScheme.setAttribute("content", "light dark"); // to auto mode
This is a very similar approach to using <meta> tags but is different if you are setting the color-scheme property in CSS:
html { color-scheme: light dark; }
Instead of setting a colorScheme constant as we just did in the last example with the <meta> tag, you might select the <html> element instead:
const html = document.querySelector('html');
Now your manipulations look like this:
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "light"); // to light mode
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "dark"); // to dark mode
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "light dark"); // to auto mode
I like to turn those manipulations into functions so that I can reuse them:
function switchAuto() {
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "light dark");
}
function switchLight() {
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "light");
}
function switchDark() {
html.style.setProperty("color-scheme", "dark");
}
Alternatively, you might like to stay as DRY as possible and do something like this:
The following demo shows how this JavaScript-based approach can be used with buttons, radio buttons, and a <select> element. Please note that not all of the controls are hooked up to update the UI — the demo would end up too complicated since there’s no world where all three types of controls would be used in the same UI!
I opted to use onchange and onclick in the HTML elements mainly because I find them readable and neat. There’s nothing wrong with instead attaching a change event listener to your controls, especially if you need to trigger other actions when the options change. Using onclick on a button doesn’t only work for clicks, the button is still keyboard-focusable and can be triggered with Spacebar and Enter too, as usual.
Remembering the selection for repeat visits
The biggest caveat to everything we’ve covered so far is that this only works once. In other words, once the visitor has left the site, we’re doing nothing to remember their color scheme preference. It would be a better user experience to store that preference and respect it anytime the visitor returns.
The Web Storage API is our go-to for this. And there are two available ways for us to store someone’s color scheme preference for future visits.
localStorage
Local storage saves values directly on the visitor’s device. This makes it a nice way to keep things off your server, as the stored data never expires, allowing us to call it anytime. That said, we’re prone to losing that data whenever the visitor clears cookies and cache and they’ll have to make a new selection that is freshly stored in localStorage.
You pick a key name and give it a value with .setItem():
localStorage.setItem("mode", "dark");
The key and value are saved by the browser, and can be called up again for future visits:
const mode = localStorage.getItem("mode");
You can then use the value stored in this key to apply the person’s preferred color scheme.
sessionStorage
Session storage is thrown away as soon as a visitor browses away to another site or closes the current window/tab. However, the data we capture in sessionStorage persists while the visitor navigates between pages or views on the same domain.
Personally, I started with sessionStorage because I wanted my site to be as simple as possible, and to avoid anything that would trigger the need for a GDPR-compliant cookie banner if we were holding onto the person’s preference after their session ends. If most of your traffic comes from new visitors, then I suggest using sessionStorage to prevent having to do extra work on the GDPR side of things.
That said, if your traffic is mostly made up of people who return to the site again and again, then localStorage is likely a better approach. The convenience benefits your visitors, making it worth the GDPR work.
The following example shows the localStorage approach. Open it up in a new window or tab, pick a theme other than what’s set in your operating system’s preferences, close the window or tab, then re-open the demo in a new window or tab. Does the demo respect the color scheme you selected? It should!
Choose the “Auto” option to go back to normal.
If you want to look more closely at what is going on, you can open up the developer tools in your browser (F12 for Windows, CTRL+ click and select “Inspect” for macOS). From there, go into the “Application” tab and locate https://cdpn.io in the list of items stored in localStorage. You should see the saved key (mode) and the value (dark or light). Then start clicking on the color scheme options again and watch the mode update in real-time.
Accessibility
Congratulations! If you have got this far, you are considering or already providing versions of your website that are more comfortable for different people to use.
For example:
People with strong floaters in their eyes may prefer to use dark mode.
People with astigmatism may be able to focus more easily in light mode.
So, providing both versions leaves fewer people straining their eyes to access the content.
Contrast levels
I want to include a small addendum to this provision of a light and dark mode. An easy temptation is to go full monochrome black-on-white or white-on-black. It’s striking and punchy! I get it. But that’s just it — striking and punchy can also trigger migraines for some people who do a lot better with lower contrasts.
Providing high contrast is great for the people who need it. Some visual impairments do make it impossible to focus and get a sharp image, and a high contrast level can help people to better make out the word shapes through a blur. Minimum contrast levels are important and should be exceeded.
Thankfully, alongside other media queries, we can also query prefers-contrast which accepts values for no-preference, more, less, or custom.
In the following example (which uses :has() and color-mix()), a <select> element is displayed to offer contrast settings. When “Low” is selected, a filter of contrast(75%) is placed across the page. When “High” is selected, CanvasText and Canvas are used unmixed for text color and background color:
Adding a quick high and low contrast theme gives your visitors even more choice for their reading comfort. Look at that — now you have three contrast levels in both dark and light modes — six color schemes to choose from!
ARIA-pressed
ARIA stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications and is designed for adding a bit of extra info where needed to screen readers and other assistive tech.
The words “where needed” do heavy lifting here. It has been said that, like apostrophes, no ARIA is better than bad ARIA. So, best practice is to avoid putting it everywhere. For the most part (with only a few exceptions) native HTML elements are good to go out of the box, especially if you put useful text in your buttons!
The little bit of ARIA I use in this demo is for adding the aria-pressed attribute to the buttons, as unlike a radio group or select element, it’s otherwise unclear to anyone which button is the “active” one, and ARIA helps nicely with this use case. Now a screen reader will announce both its accessible name and whether it is in a pressed or unpressed state along with a button.
Following is an example code snippet with all the ARIA code bolded — yes, suddenly there’s lots more! You may find more elegant (or DRY-er) ways to do this, but showing it this way first makes it more clear to demonstrate what’s happening.
Our buttons have ids, which we have used to target them with some more handy consts at the top. Each time we switch mode, we make the button’s aria-pressed value for the selected mode true, and the other two false:
On load, the buttons have a default setting, which is when the “Auto” mode button is active. Should there be any other mode in the localStorage, we pick it up immediately and run either switchLight() or switchDark(), both of which contain the aria-pressed changes relevant to that mode.
Finally, we have a nice little button switcher, with its state clearly shown and announced, that remembers your choice when you come back to it. Done!
Outroduction
Or whatever the opposite of an introduction is…
…don’t let yourself get dragged into the old dark vs light mode argument. Both are good. Both are great! And both modes are now easy to create at once. At the start of your next project, work or hobby, do not give in to fear and pick a side — give both a try, and give in to choice.
Does it ever seem like certain website color schemes just get all the attention? As with every other aspect of web design, there are color schemes that tend to trend more than others. Bright colors, stark palettes, and even some mismatching schemes are elements of color that are trending.
Here’s a look at some of the best website color schemes (in no particular order). For each, we’re also sharing the color codes that make up the key elements of the design, so it’s easy to play around with these color schemes yourself too!
One of the biggest trends in color schemes that you might notice is the use of dark dominant colors and backgrounds and shades of gold and bright red or pink hues for accents. This dark/light combo is an evolution of black and red in many minimal designs from a few years ago with a more modern touch.
Here are some great examples of color choices done right, to inspire your next project.
It’s incredible to see what you can truly achieve with a simple color scheme consisting of just three basic colors. The key here is choosing high-contrasting colors that complement each other and allow you to highlight specific objects and text more effectively. In this example, the orange does an impressive job of highlighting the other two colors. And it achieves that goal without sacrificing the allure or overall aesthetic of the website.
This website shows that you don’t have to restrict yourself to a limited color palette to create an aesthetically pleasing design. Simply put, this color scheme is all over the place with multiple shades of blue and red colors. But the real hero is the bright yellow background that brings them all together by offering all the other colors an effective canvas.
If you add a bright color, like orange in this example, to a relatively dark background, it will instantly pop. Designers used to hate this approach to creating websites that unnecessarily highlight one object above all else. However, it works wonders for specific types of websites that aim to do just that. Like highlighting the importance of safety and even safety products, as you can see throughout this website.
The subtle, soft pastel color schemes have been a popular trend over the past few years and it’s websites like this that show why it’s so effective. For this website, showcasing its long traditional ways of its business was an important part of the overall aesthetic and the designer achieves that through this soft and subtle color scheme. You will immediately feel a sense of calm and peacefulness when exploring websites like this and it can only be done with this style of color scheme.
When it comes to marketing, advertising, and showcasing creativity in general, nothing works better than the color yellow. In this example, the marketing agency Advillains has picked to follow that same traditional path by choosing just yellow, gray, and black to create a stunningly attractive and edgy look for their website. The site uses this same color scheme across the entire website and it works perfectly.
Big brand websites, like Adobe, often go for very bold and edgy looks with highly contrasting vibes. At first sight, this may seem like a website promoting a horror movie or video game, and the color scheme works for that type of design too. However, it also works well for creating immersion, especially when the goal is to give the audience a sense of going back in time and exploring an entirely different era.
For technology-centric websites and designs, darker color schemes are often the go-to choice. This website uses just two colors and does a brilliant job of creating a well-balanced website design with plenty of contrast between the background and the foreground objects. Especially on some sections of the website that feature bright neon-colored animations, this color scheme shines in giving the spotlight away to those objects when needed. And that should be the main goal of an effective color scheme.
When in doubt, you can never go wrong with the classic black and gray look. It’s a timeless look that will last a lifetime and never go out of style. The subtle, aesthetic, and high-end vibe this color scheme is able to create can’t be achieved with any other color combination. The Deduxer Studio website is a great example that shows how to use this color scheme correctly.
9. TikTok Marketing Partners
#000000#74f0ed#ea445a
Have you ever looked at a brand or website and thought, “those colors don’t match?” … but it is ok? That’s exactly what you get with this trendy color scheme from TikTok. It’s trendy in part because of the brand itself and the dominant usage of the platform. But we are also starting to see a lot of other websites and companies adopt similar color patterns.
10. Bold by Nature
#172d13#d76f30#6bb77b
With a dark green background, this is a twist on dark mode. The pair of accent colors, lighter green and orange are a good balance that keeps this color combination light and easy to read and understand. It’s a good idea to use brighter colors when you choose a dark background for ease of readability and to set the right tone for the project.
11. Amour
#5ac3b0#de5935#f7cd46
Amour has another interesting trio of colors that you might not expect together, but work exceptionally well. Not the similarity between the red and green to TikTok, but with a golden yellow and white background to really change the entire feel of how these colors come into play. If you click through to this site, you’ll see this grouping of colors shift and change in the animation to match the cans, but the design never loses its core color palette.
12. The Authentic Brief
#fdf5df#5ebec4#f92c85
Pastel color palettes are making a return with soft, yet engaging, hues that create balance and harmony. Here, the beige and blue are delightful with a few brighter accent colors to help move the eye around the design. Just be aware that you can run into contrast issues with softer palettes so make sure your background and foreground colors have enough variation.
13. Transform Festival
#abf62d#d6a3fb
Bright, almost garish neons, can have quite an impact as this color scheme shows. While lime green is considered by some as a neutral color, it is anything but when paired with a bright purple and bold, slab typography. Everything about this color and aesthetic screams “look at me!”
14. Bankyfy
#fecd45#2568fb
Golden hues with brighter blues are an in-demand color scheme because of the bright light feel that’s easy to read and understand. (This color scheme can be inverted as well for a different, but equally interesting palette.) The nice thing here is that the blue helps instill a sense of trust with the inviting tone of yellow.
15. Sigurd Lewerentz
#a0aecd#000000#ffffff
The design for Sigurd Lewerentz is subtle and interesting. It pulls the foundational black and white elements together with a gray blue that serves as both a background color and overlay for elements that aren’t activated on the screen. This modern color scheme merges a couple of recent color trends – black and white palettes and a muted or pastel theme.
16. GolfSpace
#6e6e6e#bcfd4c
Another beautiful color scheme with black and white (and gray) elements combines them with a lime green accent for emphasis and a modern touch. The deep gray background with bright green isn’t something you might immediately put together, but once you see it in action these colors are a brilliant pair. (It’s the new twist on the yellow and gray options that were the Pantone Colors of the Year in 2021.)
17. Studio Simpatico
#1a2238#9daaf2#ff6a3d#f4db7d
Studio Simpatico takes navy and red to the next level with additional accent colors for a wider palette that’s striking. Each color has a purpose – key for palettes with a lot of options – and similar color saturation makes it all mesh. Each of the accent colors has a similar feel that’s in the mid-tone range without being too dull or bright.
18. I Weigh Community
#9cf6fb#e1fcfd#394f8a#4a5fc1#e5b9a8#ead6cd
Bright and brilliant might be the best ways to describe this website color scheme from I Weigh Community. The three-color scheme explodes into six great options with the use of tints of each shade. The result is simply stunning without overwhelming you with color. This is a technique that more designs could take advantage of for a modern look with plenty of colors.
19. Persoo
#490b3d#bd1e51#f1b814
Persoo uses a color combination that you probably wouldn’t try without seeing it first. The distinct color trio has a somewhat feminine vibe and feels kind of light at the same time. The color choices are disruptive for the website because financial and e-commerce-based tools often stick to a safe color palette based on blue tones.
20. Ugly Drinks
#00abe1#161f6d
Mono-blue schemes never fade out of fashion. This dark-on-light blue combination from Ugly Drinks shows that blue can be fun, too. The simple color background is fun and makes the rest of the design easy to read and understand. It’s also a distinct look that differs from a proliferation of white or photo backgrounds and hero headers among many website designs.
21. Taproot Foundation
#00a9d8#0d9edf#259b9a
Taproot Foundation uses one of the best, most colorful website color schemes out there. The combination of yellow, blue, and kelly green work together to explain the different facets of the group that helps nonprofits. It’s not a website color scheme that you see that often but bright color with a white background is a majorly trendy option.
22. Omega Yeast
#f7f7f7#7da2a9
Omega Yeast doesn’t look like it has a color palette beyond black and white at first glance, but this website design does something that is a big idea in color trends. The color scheme is rooted in the main image – in this case, a video – rather than a background or colorful user interface elements. This trend in color is becoming more common because designers are using full-screen images to tell a brand story.
23. Farm Food
#ffffff#a7bc5b#8da242
Farm Food uses a simple, natural palette with a white minimal style background with bright olive greens to draw attention. Further, the palette has a monotone feature with light and dark olive elements. (It is easiest to see this color change in the hover state of the button.) This might not be a color pair that you come to first, but it’s striking.
24. Jebsen Careers
#3fd2c7#99ddff#00458b
Jebsen Careers uses muted blues and greens to create amazing color overlays and design elements with more saturated colors. The combination works great on a white background and shows what you can do by working with variations of the same color. The navy used for text elements and the logo further enhances overall color use.
25. IC Creative
#fb8122#1d2228#e1e2e2
IC Creative uses a dark color overlay – black that isn’t truly black – with a bright accent color and plenty of white to create an inviting scene. Color overlays in almost every hue are a major trend in website color and a rich black option such as the one here is a nice way to give other content plenty of room on the screen. Just note the oversized headline and bright accents and calls to action.
26. Mangrove Hotel
#d48166#373a36##e6e2dd
While bright color palettes have practically ruled website design for a few years, there’s a shift back to more muted palettes for some projects. The fleshy tone of Mangrove Hotel is warm and compliments the content well. (This same color has also been appearing in some Twitter marketing communications.)
27. Slumber
#051622#1ba098#deb992
Slumber makes great use of Pantone’s color of the year – Classic Blue – in-app imagery and dark tones in the background and logo. The pairing with gold and green is super trendy, and elegant, and follows along with the night and sleep theme.
28. Atlanta Brewing
#e40c2b#1d1d2c#f7f4e9#3cbcc3#eba63f#438945
Atlanta Brewing also uses a dominant red with plenty of other accent colors. Note that the palette is not only part of the website design, but also extends to the product packaging as well. They have a pretty wide palette with primary colors as the base and a rich black-and-white background.
29. Sunny Street Cafe
#5c6e58#8aa899#f2d349
Sunny Street Café is bright with a color palette that perfectly matches the images and language in the design. Greens and yellows together are an unusual combination, but it feels friendly and just right to the design of this breakfast and lunch spot. The color theme also brings out the food imagery nicely.
30. Distinction
#000000#181818#2cccc3#facd3d#5626c4#e60576
Distinction uses the same all-black base for its color palette with a rainbow of accent colors. If you want a wide-ranging color palette, this is the way to use the trend effectively.
31. Pittori di Cinema
#fdd935#000000
Minimalism can be in full color as well, as evidenced by Pittori di Cinema. The bright yellow scheme with black is a common high-color minimalism option. The brighter the color palette for this style, the more on-trend it seems to be.
32. We (Heart) UX
#e1f2f7#ef0d50#eb3a70#e5bace
We (Heart) UX uses a simple color palette with a pale blue background – a lovely choice – and shades of pinkish red for the main art element. Pulling together these colors with a funky geo style is trendy, modern, and just plain fun to look at.
33. Proud & Torn
#1f3044#fb9039#646c79
Proud & Torn uses the same jewel-tone concept with a slightly more muted color combination. The more subtle color palette helps create visual interest for a website that features a lot of colorless images.
34. Baobla
#56642a#849531#92a332
Baobla features a fun gradient in a monotone color scheme. This style of color palette is ideal for new brands or product identities or if you are looking to make a lot of impact with a bold hue.
35. Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre
#faf0dc#0b4141#ff6864
Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre picked a color palette that isn’t overly feminine, helping give more strength to its message with bold color. The color choices are high in contrast and easy on the eyes and in terms of readability. The bright accent choice is trendy and adds emphasis to that element.
36. Jean-Baptiste Kaloya Portfolio
#150734#0f2557#28559a#3778c2#4b9fe1#63bce5#7ed5ea
Jean-Baptiste Kaloya turns probably the most popular color in website design into a monotone palette of its own with varying degrees of blue. Also, note the soft gradients on the lighter blues.
37. Igor
#000000#fefefe#fdee30
Igor showcases what is probably the most popular website color palette of 2019 – black, white, and yellow. This color palette, although seen in varying hues, is widely popular. This combination is probably one of the most appealing.
38. Cowboy Bike
#000000#fa255e#c39ea0#f8e5e5
Cowboy Bike uses a black and bright color palette that’s an immediate attention-getter. While most sites use black only for text, this design actually incorporates it into the bright, monotone palette.
39. Gabrielle Dolan
#e8eae3 #373833 #fa2742
Gabrielle Dolan’s website uses the gray-white-bright color palette trend. With a distinct lack of color for most of the design, the bright color seems to jump off the screen. It creates just the right focal area and amount of contrast, which is why this is a trending color scheme option.
40. Pixel Pantry
#9e15bf#4ac6d2
Pixel Pantry uses a distinct color pair to show off this trend – purple and teal. The combination of these two colors to create a palette is nearly unreal. You’ll find variations of this scheme almost everywhere you turn.
41. Eleven Plants
#5daa68#3f6844#faf1cf
Eleven Plants uses an all-neutral color scheme that’s harmonious and easy to look at. The green matches the content well and the color combinations are simple and charming.
42. Qvartz
#ee7879#2a3166#f4abaa#cae7df
Qvartz uses one of the most unexpected trending colors of the year in a way that mimics many other projects. With pink text, pink color blocks, and a mashup of bold and softer colors, this palette is somewhat feminine but not too much so.
43. Sheerlink by RTX
#4a2c40#e9bd43#7d3780
Sheelink By RTX uses a modern gradient and bold coloring to bring attention to its product. The colors are deep and moody and the maroon-purple has a distinct sense of regality and mystery.
44. Puerto Mate
#5ce0d8#01345b#ffcf43
Puerto Mate uses trending colors that are bold without being overpowering. Because the center panel is navy the outside bright colors feel a little less “in your face”. (Just imagine flipping these hues into different locations in the design.)
45. Loic Sciampagna Portfolio
#141824 #ffb600#0049ff
Loic Sciampagna’s portfolio uses one of the best combinations of blue and yellow you’ll find. The contrasting hues are simple, elegant, and engaging with the simple touch of light, brighter blue.
46. Canatal
#182978 #6688cc #acbfe6
Canatal uses its triple blue brand colors well in this design. It’s an example of how to use a monotone color palette without being boring.
47. FFWD Digital
#f1e821#487afa#23c0ad
FFWD Digital uses brights stylishly and classically. On paper, using this trio of colors on a dark and light background might seem awkward, but here, it’s seamless and lovely.
48. Tappezzeria Novecento
#191919#fab162
Tappezzeria Novecento uses a color scheme that most would shy away from – and it works. The bright combination of orange and black is simple and engaging. The colors contrast just enough so that everything is easy to read. It’s also a nice touch that the brand colors are also in the images.
49. Tev
#252669#4ecb4a
Tev is anything but boring with a lime background and duotone color overlay. It’s bold and the green makes you think money – just what the site is designed to do.
50. Niche & Cult
#4e3883#ffddcc
Niche & Cult uses soft hues for a beauty brand with a more feminine feel. The soft pink is reminiscent of some skin tones and a blank canvas for makeup while the bright purple matches the mood of the site.
51. Sysdoc
#001730#4ad7d1#fe4a49
Sysdoc creates a new spin on a basic palette of red, blue, and green with brighter, less saturated options for red and green. The palette is strong and soft and matches almost any other set of elements.
52. Veneziano Coffee Roasters
#f6f4f2#425664#c6ad8f
Veneziano Coffee Roasters goes back to a more muted palette with a gray-blue and gold combination that’s subtle and classy. The colors pair well with the website’s imagery and create just the right feel.
53. Better Energy
#11abc1#df3062#f5b935#4bac3f
Better Energy uses bright colors associated with nature – taken from corresponding imagery – to create a fun palette to tell the story of something that might not be super interesting to talk about.
54. Blast Galaxy
#0f0c24#a350a3#c1436d
We couldn’t get through a roundup of cool color trends without looking at an 80s palette. Everything from the 1980s seems to be trending and that includes the colors used for Blast Galaxy, a commonly observed combination of blue, purple, and pink with a neon glow.
55. Kyle Decker Portfolio
#f5f5f5#8db48e#4d724d
Kyle Decker’s portfolio is another website with a color scheme that shines because it is so simple. It uses a combination of neutrals and only one true color to focus the eyes of the user.
56. Awink
#212221#1181b2#ddedf4#44449b
Awink Websolutions also uses a monotone color schedule with varying hues of blue. (Blues are a popular option when it comes to monotone options.) This one is just a little different thanks to the deeper, darker accents. Plus, dark and light screen areas almost play an optical illusion, making you think there are more colors here than there are.
57. Archibald Microbrewery
#d81c23#4fa8c2#d97441#d29849
Archibald Microbrewery uses a rainbow of colors, but the palette is surprisingly beautiful. With colors all in similar saturations and following a theme visually, it comes together pretty seamlessly.
58. Indegy
#45af2a#3fddc1#d56c06
Indegy uses a bright green against plenty of photos and high color. The simple color, paired mostly with gray and white, adds a modern touch to the design and helps direct users through the content. (There are also teal and orange accents for subtle pops of brightness in other places.)
59. Knapsack
#ad4328#b65741
Knapsack uses a bright red color scheme with gradients to add interest to a color that can be tough to use. This works because there aren’t a lot of high-energy visuals competing with the bright palette.
60. Demisol
#16519f#f07e74#f8dd2e#4fcbe9
Demisol uses too many colors and too many big elements, and it’s fabulous anyway. Sometimes playing with color is an experiment; test it out and see if it works.
61. Dropbox
#61082b#b4d0e7
Dropbox has another one of those color schemes that shouldn’t work … but it does. The contrast between the deep maroon and baby blue establishes great eye movement across the split screen. The colors work equally well as text elements on the opposite color. Once more, it proves that sometimes you just have to try color options out and see how they work.
Terence Eden on using text-wrap: balance for more than headings:
But the name is, I think, slightly misleading. It doesn’t only work on text. It will work on any content. For example – I have a row of icons at the bottom of this page. If the viewport is too narrow, a single icon might drop to the next line. That can look a bit weird.
Heck yeah. I may have reached for some sort of auto-fitting grid approach, but hey, may as well go with a one-liner if you can! And while we’re on the topic, I just wanna mention that, yes, text-wrap: balance will work on any content. — just know that the spec is a little opinionated on this and make sure that the content is fewer than five lines.
Suggestion for value space is match-indent | <length> | <percentage> (with Xch given as an example to make that use case clear). Alternately <integer> could actually count the characters.
The spookiest day of the year is right around the corner. Take your Halloween pumpkin game up a notch by showing off your graphic design skills with a custom carving, and get inspired with these Halloween pumpkin ideas!
It’s not too late to find the perfect pumpkin at a local patch and spend some quality time (along or with your family) crafting a carving that no one else on your street will have. Not sure where to start? Here’s we’ve collected 20 creative Halloween pumpkin carving ideas, from simple scenes to iconic graphic design elements to a few customized spooks.
1. Show Off Your Skills
Design a carving that isn’t a traditional Jack-o-Lantern. You can carve almost any scene that strikes your fancy with the right tools.
2. Pantone Pumpkin
Show off a little design humor with a Pantone-inspired carving that shows your favorite orange hue.
3. Geek Out
Show your code humor with a clever line that only designers and developers will understand.
4. Group Gourds
Come up with a creative way to create multiple carvings that connect using several pumpkins together.
5. Carve a Logo
Show your love for Adobe or WordPress with a logo carving.
6. Dedicate to a Special Character
Everyone has a favorite letterform or type element — mine is the ampersand — carve it creatively or using your favorite font.
7. Try a Trendy Element
It seems like sugar skull images are everywhere this season. Go trendy and carve one of your own.
8. Craft a Fictional Character
From star of horror movies to video game heroes, use your pumpkin carving skills to create a replica of your favorite fictional character.
9. Try Something Unexpected
Most pumpkin carvings feature designs on a round, head-on canvas. Turn the pumpkin around and cut out parts of it to create new shapes for a different spin on the carving, such as the fish, above.
10. Be Silly
Try a silly pumpkin carving design instead of creepers. This more family- and kid-friendly option might just be a hit at your house.
11. Take Advantage of Mistakes
Admit it, there’s been a time or two when you dropped the pumpkin and smashed it a little or when the carving just went a bit awry. Make the most of it with a double-pumpkin design and turn that mishap into a happy accident.
12. Pumpkins Plus Other Elements
Take your carving to the next level with add-ons. Organic elements are a natural fit, such as the greenery above. But you can also add lights or other materials for a mixed-media Halloween decoration.
13. Tattoo-Style Carving
One of the more recent trends in pumpkin carving is to create a design with cuts all the way through the flesh of the pumpkin as well as carving partially through the outer shell. (This can allow varying amounts of light to shine through and accommodate more intricate patterns.)
14. Make It Scary
Get in the holiday spirit with an absolutely scary design, such as the homage to Comic Sans above.
15. Use a Creepy Character
Or you can highlight the scary season with a character that’s actually creepy, such as a ghoul, goblin or less-than-friendly face.
16. Carve a Cool Pattern
Rather than focusing on just one side of the pumpkin, develop a pattern or texture that can be incorporated all the way around. (It’s a great chance to use a trendy geometric shape.)
17. Think in Theory
Go beyond a simple carving with a pumpkin concept that uses a lot of imagination. Note how the example above mimics the golden ratio in the shape of a nautilus.
18. Highlight a Fav Font
Show off your design skills with a special message featuring your favorite font. Who said a carving has to be a picture? Words are OK, too.
19. Think About Lighting
If you plan to put a candle your pumpkin make sure the carving is designed to let that light shine through. Create a design that will look great in the dark, even if you can’t see the pumpkin itself.
20. Stick with a Classic
Just because you can go crazy with pumpkin carving doesn’t mean you have to. Sometimes the best idea is the most simple, classic one. Carve a classic Jack O Lantern with and put a candle inside to light the way for trick or treaters.
How Do You Carve a Custom Pumpkin Design?
Turn your design into a template for a custom Halloween pumpkin graphic design carving. Here’s how you do it:
Create the design in Photoshop or Illustrator. Make sure to use plenty of thick lines between cut areas or you might end up with a butchered pumpkin. The easiest designs include full cutouts. The most complicated entail carvings that require more detailed cuts on thin lines or elements.
Print the design at a size to match your pumpkin. An outline design is sufficient and easiest to work with.
Transfer the design to the pumpkin for carving by covering the back of the paper with graphic or charcoal, taping the paper to the pumpkin and then tracing the design. Other options include adding a sheet of tracing paper between the printed design and pumpkin before tracing or attaching the design to the pumpkin and then “tracing” the design to the orange orb by poking holes in the paper through to the pumpkin as a carving guide.
Remove the paper from the pumpkin and then carve it using the outline guide you’ve created. Just make sure to cut the top off and scoop all the seeds out first. It will make for much easier (and cleaner) carving.

There’s a lot of math behind fluid typography. CSS does make the math a lot easier these days, but even if you’re comfortable with that, writing the full declaration can be verbose and tough to remember. I know I often have to look it back up, despite having written it maybe a hundred times.
He says ChatGPT did the initial lifting before he refined it. I can get behind this sort of AI-flavored usage. Start with an idea, find a starting point, look deeper at it, and shape it into something incredibly useful for a small, single purpose.
The difference between Popovers (i.e., the popover attribute) and Dialogs (i.e., both the <dialog> element and the dialog accessible role) is incredibly confusing — so much that many articles (like this, this, and this) have tried to shed some light on the issue.
If you’re still feeling confused, I hope this one clears up that confusion once and for all.
Distinguishing Popovers From Dialogs
Let’s pull back on the technical implementations and consider the greater picture that makes more sense and puts everything into perspective.
The reason for this categorization comes from a couple of noteworthy points.
First, we know that a popover is content that “pops” up when a user clicks a button (or hovers over it, or focuses on it). In the ARIA world, there is a useful attribute called aria-haspopup that categorizes such popups into five different roles:
menu
listbox
tree
grid
dialog
Strictly speaking, there’s a sixth value, true, that evaluates to menu. I didn’t include it above since it’s effectively just menu.
By virtue of dialog being on this list, we already know that dialog is a type of popover. But there’s more evidence behind this too.
The Three Types of Dialogues
Since we’re already talking about the dialog role, let’s further expand that into its subcategories:
Dialogs can be categorized into three main kinds:
Modal: A dialog with an overlay and focus trapping
Non-Modal: A dialog with neither an overlay nor focus trapping
Alert Dialog: A dialog that alerts screen readers when shown. It can be either modal or non-modal.
This brings us to another reason why a dialog is considered a popover.
Some people may say that popovers are strictly non-modal, but this seems to be a major misunderstanding — because popovers have a ::backdrop pseudo-element on the top layer. The presence of ::backdrop indicates that popovers are modal. Quoting the CSS-Tricks almanac:
The ::backdrop CSS pseudo-element creates a backdrop that covers the entire viewport and is rendered immediately below a <dialog>, an element with the popup attribute, or any element that enters fullscreen mode using the Fullscreen API.
That said, I don’t recommend using the Popover API for modality because it doesn’t have a showModal() method (that <dialog> has) that creates inertness, focus trapping, and other necessary features to make it a real modal. If you only use the Popover API, you’ll need to build those features from scratch.
So, the fact that popovers can be modal means that a dialog is simply one kind of popover.
A Popover Needs an Accessible Role
Popovers need a role to be accessible. Hidde has a great article on selecting the right role, but I’m going to provide some points in this article as well.
To start, you can use one of the aria-haspopup roles mentioned above:
menu
listbox
tree
grid
dialog
You could also use one of the more complex roles like:
treegrid
alertdialog
There are two additional roles that are slightly more contentious but may do just fine.
tooltip
status
To understand why tooltip and status could be valid popover roles, we need to take a detour into the world of tooltips.
A Note on Tooltips
From a visual perspective, a tooltip is a popover because it contains a tiny window that pops up when the tooltip is displayed.
I included tooltip in the mental model because it is reasonable to implement tooltip with the Popover API.
But, from an accessibility standpoint, tooltips are not popovers. In the accessibility world, tooltips must not contain interactive content. If they contain interactive content, you’re not looking at a tooltip, but a dialog.
This is also why aria-haspopup doesn’t include tooltip —aria-haspopup is supposed to signify interactive content but a tooltip must not contain interactive content.
With that, let’s move on to status which is an interesting role that requires some explanation.
Why status?
Tooltips have a pretty complex history in the world of accessible interfaces so there’s a lot of discussion and contention over it.
To keep things short (again), there’s an accessibility issue with tooltips since tooltips should only show on hover. This means screen readers and mobile phone users won’t be able to see those tooltips (since they can’t hover on the interface).
Steve Faulkner created an alternative — toggletips — to fill the gap. In doing so, he explained that toggletip content must be announced by screen readers through live regions.
When initially displayed content is announced by (most) screen readers that support aria-live
Heydon Pickering later added that status can be used in his article on toggletips.
We can supply an empty live region, and populate it with the toggletip “bubble” when it is invoked. This will both make the bubble appear visually and cause the live region to announce the tooltip’s information.
This is why status can be a potential role for a popover, but you must use discretion when creating it.
That said, I’ve chosen not to include the status role in the Popover mental model because status is a live region role and hence different from the rest.
In Summary
Here’s a quick summary of the mental model:
Popover is an umbrella term for any kind of on-demand popup.
Dialog is one type of popover — a kind that creates a new window (or card) to contain some content.
When you internalize this, it’s not hard to see why the Popover API can be used with the dialog element.
<!-- Uses the popover API. Role needs to be determined manually -->
<div popover>...</div>
<!-- Dialog with the popover API. Role is dialog -->
<dialog popover>...</dialog>
<!-- Dialog that doesn't use the popover API. Role is dialog -->
<dialog>...</dialog>
When choosing a role for your popover, you can use one of these roles safely.
menu
listbox
tree
grid
treegrid
dialog
alertdialog
The added benefit is most of these roles work together with aria-haspopup which gained decent support in screen readers last year.
Of course, there are a couple more you can use like status and tooltip, but you won’t be able to use them together with aria-haspopup.
