CMX JumpStart: MaléCMX JumpStart Malé

CMX JumpStart Malé, one of our most flexible JumpStarts to date, is a fixed-width two and three-column layout. You can show, or hide, the third column on a page-by-page basis, without having to delve into the code. The left column features a CSS based flyout menu that you can customize with as many levels as you need. Of course Malé meets the W3C standards for CSS and XHTML, as well as the WAI accessibility requirements, too.

As you look at the gorgeous image in the header, you may wonder where this idyllic scene is located. Malé is the capital of the Republic of the Maldives, which is located on the equator in the South West of Sri Lanka.

The package includes the following:

Malé is available for $29.99 to non-members, but is absolutely free to CMX subscribers. Read more about how to make it yours.

 

Chicago: Developing a CSS Starter PageCSS Starter Chicago

Last fall Sheri German went to Chicago to present a workshop at Adobe MAX 2007. She took some photographs to use in a second tutorial series devoted to developing a CSS Starter Page.

The CSS Starter Pages are an invaluable addition to the CSS toolset in Dreamweaver CS3. With well over thirty different layout types from which to choose, you can rapidly develop page designs, free from the onerous task of having to build the underlying structure from scratch. However, a little knowledge is still necessary. There are some features that the starter pages must leave up to you to develop, such as navigation schemes, text styling, and background images to use in faux column technique.

In this five-part tutorial you'll learn to take advantage of a starter page as you modify the two-column, fixed-width, left-sidebar, header and footer layout. You'll use a Fireworks graphical representation of the layout to develop the graphics for a design we'll call Chicago. You'll add horizontal navigation and sidebar pods to jazz up the generic design and make it a functioning page upon which you can base a site.

And as a special addition to the series, Jim Babbage takes you through the process of modifying Chicago to use for a photography site.
