I wanted to polish up my javascript coding so I decided that the best way to do that was with a project that I’ve been wanted to do for a while anyway, my own identity site, or my online business card, or my online vcard. The idea was inspired by Tim Van Damme’s website.
To accomplish this I wrote a jquery plugin to handle the navigation, animation etc.. The site itself is rather simple, a single html page and a few images. The markup is written in such a way that it works perfectly (minus the hiding and animation) even when javascript isn’t present.
I’ll write a separate post on how I wrote the jquery plugin and would be happy if anyone else could use it. I just ask that if used that people provide proper attribution both in the code and with a link back to stevefrancia.com.
Please enjoy my new site and feel free to provide suggestions in the comments below or via thecontact form.
