CMX JumpStarts: Orlando

Mention Orlando, and most people immediately think of theme parks, laughing kids, warm sunshine and palm trees. Our Orlando JumpStart captures this spirit of Orlando perfectly, from its imagery to fun masthead font to bright colors.
As do all our JumpStarts, Orlando uses valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.1 markup and follows WAI and Section 508 accessibility guidelines to provide you with a solid foundation for any design you may wish to use it for. Orlando is a two column elastic layout, which means it expands in width based on the user's font size. This allows the overall proportions of the page to stay intact no matter what window or font size the page's visitors are using, as well as making the design very accessible. The design also features a subhead area, a styled list as a navigation menus, and floated images.
The graphic and code techniques used to create Orlando are explained fully in the 11 tutorials that we've included in your download, as well as this article. We also include the four style sheets needed for this design (including an extensively commented one you can use for reference), the XHTML files for the layout, the two source Fireworks PNGs, and a Dreamweaver extension that allows you to create new pages based on Orlando easily.
