A List Apart

A List Apart

"A List Apart" (ALA) is a webzine for web designers written in Ruby on Rails. It covers various topics of interest and advocates the use of web standards in the design process. Regular articles are written by contributing authors who are not part of the editorial team.

Their tagline is "“for people who make websites”".

It was co-founded by web design lecturer Jeffrey Zeldman. ALA started as a mailing list in 1997 by Zeldman and Brian M. Platz. A year later, in 1998, ALA was launched as a website. ALA allows anyone to submit an article, which editors will then review and may choose to publish.

In 2001, A List Apart's editors grew tired of the lack of standards followed by popular Web browsers. It converted to the standard entitled Cascading Style Sheets, developed at W3C, and challenged its readers to do likewise. While other websites had experimented with using CSS for style before 2001, A List Apart was the first in the web design community to gain notoriety for using a CSS-only design.Fact|date=March 2007
