A New Site for Me - have a look

1

Hi,

This is the test version of the new interface and presentation medium I have been working on for my noponies.com site.

You can have a look here: http://www.noponies.com

I have used a few of the sample bits of AS off of here, the scroller by Claudio and the minus.dk fullscreen image display clone. So thanks to all who contributed the little bits of the jigsaw.

Still some things to iron out, but it’s mostly working as I want it to.

Edit - Lightened up the the nav a little, and changed the elastic bounce to an easeoutexpo.

Some of the illustrations are R18

Hey man, I really liked it! Any chance of posting the FLA?

The double column thumbnail scroller is very nice!

slampa - don’t take the piss, that’s his current site, he shouldn’t post the FLA.

dail - I like the site a lot. Simple, slick, but bold. Nice and not minimalist :smiley: Yet still nicely simple and to the point, and fairly functional.

One thing though - the illustrations I clicked got smaller when I clicked fullscreen, I was obviously expecting to see enlargements with more detail :slight_smile:

Is this on purpose?

I love the site. As it is now, I don’t see anything wrong with it thought I didn’t try to see if I could break it or anything.

:smiley:

Well yeah, obviously. I was just curious of how he implemented the scroller. And also, if he’s using Claudio’s scroller and the minus.dk clone from another thread, you know, there shouldn’t be that many surprises in the code. With everything being open source and all (I’m assuming some creative commons license). But hey, I’m just taking a piss.

And yes, I could have been more clear regarding the code for the implementation fo the scroller. A cut n paste of that snippet would be nice but if he want’s to keep it - no biggie.

Oh, and I think that the fullscreen actually is a feature and not a bug :slight_smile: And I agree - I also expected to se a zoomed in image. Maybe use the term Overview instead of Fullscreen?

Anyhoo, nice work!

Taking a piss :smiley:

What is Claudio’s scroller and munus.dk clone?

By the way I thought you meant the source of his entire site, as you didn’t specify, and that would have been a fairly odd request :smiley:

@ darkmotion - your res might be set to 1440 x 900 but with all that crap (tool bars, bookmarks, finder bar) you’ve got visible as part of your browser you’re cutting your vertical viewing space down to 652px not 900px.

by the way you might wanna get rid of that www.littleboys.com bookmark before screen shooting again. haha jk

just a heads up.

even @ 900 high you are still going to lose at least 60 px stripped down. I never have those toolbars out- I expand and collapse them whenever I need. Things NEED to be designed to work at the minimum resolution, so it should actually work at 1024x768 anyway :wink:

also this is a major thread revival so you now look like dorks yay!

I like this a good bit. A little dizziness-inducing, but nice. Usability is a kinda iffy, but I think the novelty of the whole thing makes it an ok trade-off.
A tiny little thing- maybe speed up the navbar “menu-item-text-back-to-mouseoff-state-alpha-change” thing? It feels a little sluggish. (and people say computer talk makes no sense…)

I love it, noponies. Beautiful.

I like the content more than the text, the text needs changing
