Seattle is our second design in the CMX JumpStarts series. It is free to members of Community MX and available for purchase by non-members at the competitive price of $29.99. If you'd like a more detailed description of Seattle, including screenshots, check out "Announcing a New CMX JumpStart: Seattle"
Seattle provides a fixed-width two column layout with a right-hand navigation setup. Included are a home page, a pre-prepared form page and an inner page design. It has been designed to validate to XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2, and it also meets the requirements of 508 and WAI for accessibility.
All the source files that were used to create this design are available in the download. That is, the CSS files, the XHTML documents and even the PNG files. The CSS files and the XHTML pages are extensively commented to make editing Seattle a breeze. We are sure you will have a Whale of a good time adapting Seattle to meet your own requirements!
Seattle teaches you how to use nested lists to create a fully accessible navigation system. The download contains tutorials that will provide an in-depth analysis of all the techniques that have been used to create the design.
