Animate a Custom Dialog Box with CSS3 and jQuery

By Jake Rocheleau | Published December 7th, 2011 in Tutorials

I am a particular fan of the jQuery UI library and have been following the team since it’s release. It features dozens of examples of how to pull together the best animations from such a small library of code. However in a lot of websites these days we are seeking to limit dynamic JavaScript blocks. As such CSS3 has become an important staple with building dialog boxes.

In this short tutorial I’d like to go over the process of building a simple fade-in dialog box. This may contain a signup/login form, input buttons, or even just a message to your visitors. The technique is pristine and gaining adoption in the sphere of web developers everywhere.

23 Websites with Full-Screen Photo Backgrounds

By Jake Rocheleau | Published November 30th, 2011 in Inspiration

The art of crafting pixel-perfect website layouts can take many years to develop as a professional. One such area to focus on is the photograph-based backgrounds you see throughout many portfolio and company websites. Full-page photos often work well in a wallpaper-type display ported onto the web.

There are many styles and variations of this technique, as it has been adapted through the years. But I have collected 23 of my favorite websites boasting fullscreen backgrounds for this gallery. The trends are still growing and have managed to hold onto their concepts for some time. If you know of websites we may have missed please share links and let us know your thoughts in the discussion area below.

25 JavaScript Photo Slideshows Used in Web Layouts

By Jake Rocheleau | Published November 16th, 2011 in Resources

Most web developers have at least heard about the many JavaScript photo slider plugins. These often utilize a library such as jQuery to construct plug-and-play galleries within just a few minutes. Yet after so many years of project growth we can find dozens of unique examples and animations in this field.

Developers have become creative applying custom techniques with jQuery UI, MooTools, Prototype, and other JS libraries. In the gallery below I’ve put together 25 extremely unique implementations of JavaScript photo sliders on websites. Both the interaction and user interface play a huge role in this type of page element. With any luck you can put together a few ideas to implement a slideshow into your own projects.

Case Study: Building an ‘About the Author’ Box in WordPress 3.2

By Jake Rocheleau | Published November 7th, 2011 in Tutorials

I’m sure those of you familiar with Wordpress blogs have seen the many author box designs. Most of the popular web design and social media magazines feature some type of author display box towards the bottom of each post. This features the author name, avatar, and generally a short bio along with profile links.

Wordpress users who are up to date with the latest 3.2.x release can easily implement this feature via custom plugins to extend WP functionality. But I want to explain how you can custom-code your own author box! I feel this method gives you more control over the layout and you can manipulate the HTML/CSS much further than with plugin codes.
