Another little brochure site I’ve designed has gone live: www.addecoltd.co.uk. Addeco are a building and landscaping product manufacturer/supplier based in Stoke On Trent. This site is static HTML/CSS/jQuery and was built on top of the 960 grid system.The 960 grid system is a great tool when building ‘standard’ block based sites and let’s you simply organise big chunks of the design. If you’ve never used it before, I’d encourage you to take a look. There’s a few jQuery scripts on there: the obligatory carousel for the front page images, IE reject (for those pesky IE6/7 users), smooth scroll and there’s even some custom (non jQuery) javascript in there for the Concrete and Aggregate calculators.
Along with many of the more recent sites I’ve built I’ve started to include the javascript calls at the bottom of the page now, as this is the preferred (best practice) solution for the quickest possible page load at present (the images etc can then load up and give users something to see before the JS scripts get loaded).
