Cool Coding!

[studioeighty]

I had no idea what to call the post so 'Cool Coding' it is :clap:

I've just got a new contract with a client. They require 2 microsites built per month. I'm working alongside a developer but he's not great at coming up with new ideas to make the sites a bit more interactive.

What I mean by 'Cool Coding' is things like the JS codaslider and the lightbox effect. Are there any sites out there that give good examples of making a site a bit more interactive. They are quite simple tools but seem to make a huge difference.

Any ideas would be greatly apprecaited :up:

Cheers
Steve

All I'll say is: don't use things like that just because you can, use them because they add something to the build.

yes you are right.
to be honest these are just landing pages which are quite boring in essence. For example it may be a landing page for Belkin and they want to display 6 products. I was just thinking of creative ways to display the products and spec etc...

Hi Steve,

Geoff posted some links to handy slider/pop-up scripts recently, that may be of some use;

Any others?
