Website Ideas 1


- Due to the theme of our project being creativity, i felt it was important to develop something visually interesting for our website. While the CSS basics might be enough to make an acceptable site I really liked the look of some of the more dynamic aspects of css such as image rollover effects, parallax scrolling, jquery etc.

Here are some of the coding resource sites I researched about these type of effects..

I found this site very useful in learning the basics however their css code didn't seem compatible with Mac OS (I program in windows lol) so ultimately the codes weren't of much use. :)

These sites both contained info and code by Keith Clark. It seemed simple enough upon reading but in practice it is actually really tricky to implement these into a layout, especially not knowing which parts of the code alter which parts of the layout and effect. Nonetheless I have been experimenting and hope to get a functional and running backbone for the site as a minimum and then go from there.

This website included a very basic and easy to follow guide for parallax effects as well and was something I read to get a better understanding of how they work.
