CMX JumpStart: Black Forest
Known for its highlands, scenery, and forests, the Black Forest in Germany is a popular destination of tourists. When someone mentions the Black Forest to me, I always think of the wonderful cake or waltzing by the beautiful Blue Danube. Now I am going to give us all a new association to make, and that's the latest CMX JumpStart Black Forest.
CMX JumpStart Black Forest is a centered, two-column, fixed layout in the new wider width that many designers are now using. The tabbed navigation uses the popular Sliding Door technique. The header features a logo with the text placed on a circular path that will make it easy to design an attractive logo for your site. The main content resides in the left column, and a Digg content sharing menu occupies the right column.
The package includes documentation, an extension, tutorials, various style sheets, PNG documents for branding the graphics, and a starter page. Of course CMX JumpStart Black Forest meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.
CMX JumpStart Black Forest is available for $29.99 to non-members, but is absolutely free to CMX subscribers. Read more about how to make it yours.

CMX JumpStart: Berlin
When I think of Berlin, I think of one of the world's greatest orchestras, The Berlin Philharmonic. In addition to its many orchestras, opera houses, and theaters, Berlin also has the honor of being the capital of Germany. And now it can boast one more credential - it is the latest JumpStart, CMX JumpStart Berlin.
CMX JumpStart Berlin is a centered, two-column or three-column, liquid/fixed layout. The two tier navigation uses the popular Sliding Door technique for its main navigation. The left column navigation is constructed from an unordered list, and it is easy to add as many links as you need. The header features a third menu, a PhatFusion Image Menu, that lets you add your own categories and images. This feature is especially handy for photographers who would like to feature their work.
The package includes documentation, an extension, 8 tutorials, various style sheets, three PNG documents for branding the graphics, and a starter page. Of course CMX JumpStart Berlin meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.
CMX JumpStart Berlin is available for $29.99 to non-members, but is absolutely free to CMX subscribers. Read more about how to make it yours.
