Often, the best advice or the most powerful guidance comes from peers with experience, who are willing to share what they know. My all-time favorite self-help assistance comes in the form of easy to understand tutorials, cheat sheets or step-by-step instructions with illustrations and screenshots.
The Cre8asiteforums Toolbox hosts peer to peer tools, tutorials and cheat sheets created by members of the Cre8asiteforums Community, or people and companies who have made a positive impression on the Community.
The Cross-Browser Device Assessment Panel is a large forum with information, resources and the invitation to test one's web site for cross browser compatibility and accessibility issues. This includes mobile device support.
Sure. I hear the same thing you all hear. You're told forums are infested with bad advice and aren't to be trusted for honest instruction.
I disagree. Tucked inside the parade of promotional hooha posts are some real gems. We find them. The Creative Community finds them. We make them visible and available so others will find them too.

About Kim's Web Site Usability Reviews
"This report exceeded my expectations. After reading it a
few times, I went through and highlighted those parts of your actionable
advice that I want to implement right away... I ended up highlighting
most of the report. Stellar job. I won't hesitate to recommend you
to one of my own clients." -- Andy

"I have implemented the most obvious changes and I suppose the fact that we've seen an immediate increase
in sales/conversions is no coincidence. I'd highly recommend your service to anyone running a serious web based business."
-- Steve Clay, Plumeriabay.com
"As soon as we get our hands on one of her usability
studies, my clients and I have a better understanding of what needs
to be done with their sites to make them the best they can be from their
site visitors' perspective."
