About Unsemantic

Note: If you're curious how this site itself was built (using Serve), check out the code on GitHub. There is also a slide deck from the HTML5.tx conference, explaining how Serve was used to build Unsemantic.com.

The Unsemantic CSS framework was created by Nathan Smith. He works as a Principal Front-End Architect at TandemSeven.

However, "no man is an island" and this came about due to the influence of good ideas from a number of other people.
