Few months ago I promised to make a newer and better website design for BRL-CAD. Since then, I have been working on this new design that IMHO would be perfect for the website. I was about to share the graphical mock-ups with the community but then later I decided that instead of graphical mock-up I will make an in-browser mock-up, so that I can show how the certain elements will behave, animate etc. which would have never been possible in images. It took me much longer than I anticipated but I hope end result is satisfactory
So here is my mock up http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/ , I hope the community likes it. Few things about this mock-up *Clicking on BRL-CAD logo will toggle the navigation bar, so that user can enjoy more screen estate. Note that navigation links (except About) don't work yet. I have not created a mock up for other pages yet. *The whole webpage is divided into slides, to jump to (scroll to) next slide, you can click on green hand down icons. *Each slide has an image associated with it, hovering on image may animate it. This animation can currently only be seen in chrome browser as I have used a CSS3 background image transition property which is currently only supported by chrome (webkit) but if approved, during deploying I will change that into jQuery animation which will then be supported in all browsers. For the sake of mock up, please watch it in chrome. *Design is responsive and is tested on a tablet, mobile and a screen of various resolutions (1024 X 728, 1366 X 768, 1920 X 1080) *Login form may look odd to some, actually that space was reserved for a huge BRL-CAD logo but I couldn't get the logo with transparent background in high resolution. So opted for this alternative. Other alternatives can be Recent posts from blog, renderings slide show from gallery and so on. *I have grabbed two images of models from grab cad, If that's not allowed then we can go for models created in BRL-CAD. (will need community's help in that). *I have styled this using SASS an alternative to CSS that compiles into CSS. SASS code is not yet as elegant as it should be, will clean it during final deployment. All the questions, doubts, feedback and suggestions are welcome. -- Ekoankar Sahai ishwerdas.com facebook.com/okayinder https://kippt.com/okayinder ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
