CMX JumpStart: Bordeaux
It's May, and for many of us that means lots of end-of-year events. School concerts, graduations, award ceremonies, last meetings till the fall...we celebrate these endings and look forward to the easy lifestyle of summer. Many of our celebrations are accompanied by parties - delicious food, and sometimes a special wine. What more preeminent center of great wine is there than Bordeaux, France? And to that region we dedicate our latest JumpStart design, CMX JumpStart Bordeaux.
CMX JumpStart Bordeaux features an accessible split level navigation system. The main navigation is a series of tabs that uses the Sliding Door method as described by Douglas Bowman. The sub navigation is an unordered list based system, and both navigation systems provide clear "you are here" page markers. The design is a two column layout fixed at 740px wide and utilizes gradients on various page areas. Of course Bordeaux meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.
The package includes the following:
- Documentation
- An extension to easily install Bordeaux files from the New Document dialog box
- Seven tutorials
- Three style sheets: one main, one for Internet Explorer, and a Design Time style sheet
- A Fireworks PNG documents for branding the graphics
- A starter page
Bordeaux is available for $29.99 to non-members, but is absolutely free to CMX subscribers. Read more about how to make it yours.
