Click & Pledge

XHTML & CSS Cutup from PDF file / JavaScript / Site Planning

I helped on this project for Click & Pledge during the planning and early production phases. While Flash is definitely the star of the show, I got to use some creative code to get them everything they were looking for.

First, during the planning stages we determined how best to break up their content into a directory structure that made sense.

Next up was a simple cutup. I needed to leave spaces for all their Flash content that was coming from a different vendor. I used JavaScript to build a news-scrolling widget on the bottom of the homepage. On the site’s subpages, there are several tiers of navigation that used custom CSS to keep the code clean and accessible. Icons, headlines, and supporting text were all laid out with handwritten CSS as well. The pages numbered well into the thirties, with room for images and Flash animations aplenty.

I would suggest to other clients that they build in a backup plan in case a user doesn’t have Flash installed, but otherwise the site works well for most of its users and looks great. Check it out at http://www.clickandpledge.com/.
