CMX JumpStart: AgraCMX JumpStart Agra

We start out the new year of JumpStarts with a magnificently flexible design that is three layouts in one!

Maybe you haven't heard of Agra, India, but you most definitely have heard of its most famous building, the Taj Mahal. Agra is a popular tourist destination, and now it will be a particularly popular CMX JumpStart, CMX JumpStart Agra. Why? Because one page includes multiple layout possibilities.

CMX JumpStart Agra is a 900 pixel wide, fixed-width layout providing multiple column options that can be controlled from a single CSS file. While the top half of Agra remains constant, the lower three-column section can easily be modified from its default three columns to either a one or two column layout. The tabbed navigation uses the popular Sliding Door technique.

Like all CMX JumpStarts, Agra includes tutorials, an extension, customizable Fireworks PNGs, and everything you need to develop your own design. Of course Agra meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.

CMX JumpStart Agra 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 LaplandCMX JumpStart: Lapland

The holiday season is in full force, and many of us are decorating, putting up trees, planning the holiday meal, and buying gifts for friends and family. We are extremely pleased to offer our own gift to the online community, the free holiday CMX JumpStart Lapland.

CMX JumpStart Lapland is a "horizontal band" layout with fluid outer divs and constrained content divs that preserve good reading line lengths. The tabbed first tier navigation uses the popular Sliding Door technique. The second tier navigation is an unordered list with a decorative bottom background image.

Like all CMX JumpStarts, Lapland includes tutorials, an extension, customizable Fireworks PNG, and everything you need to develop your own design. Of course Lapland meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.

We also are offering a free Lapland modification that includes tutorial and development files. The modification decorates Lapland for the holidays by adding a custom font from Font Squirrel. The documentation article gives all directions for using @font-face with a custom font, and in such a way that it works in all modern browsers.

CMX JumpStart Lapland is is absolutely FREE!
