Since my last entry most of my time has been taken up with developing a vast majority of the markup required to translate the design of the new site into modules and templates.

Having spent the end of last week researching views on sIFR and its possible issues I came to the conclusion that for headlines and non linking text the techniques is applicable in this situation.

Fixing one bug can solve no end of issues, and yes it was because of a float!

Below is a graphic showing, which parts of the template scale and which will be of fixed width.

I think I’ve now completed the elastic template, the last day and half have been taken up with creating an elastic horizontal navigation bar with the use of a styled unordered list.

The investigations into the viability of using an elastic template whereby the dimensions of the site are driven by the font size has taken a few days to result in any firm thoughts.

This is a bit of a non-question as I’ve implemented this technique on this site and This is Money so I knew this was going to work. The use of em’s to size the font is going to really play a huge part in this site driving the dimensions to create an elastic template.

We have been considering using sIFR for certain text on the new site mainly to be able to fully express the brand through the logotype.

Over the coming weeks I will document the processes and practices I use while developing a website for ANM.
This write up will be updated over the course of the project as and when major milestones have been reach and decisions have been made.
This is my online portfolio, showcasing work created in the seven years I've been a graphic and web designer.
I also use the site as a development area where ideas and techniques are explored and commented upon.
