So here I’m relearning the good old days when I used to be a website developer, experimenting, learning what’s new with CSS, HMTL, PHP, JS and all the fun new things that have come along since I was last coding and designing websites.
At the moment this page will make absolutely no sense, it’s just a complete mish-mash of all sorts of weird stuff, animations here, scrolling there, popping in or out or whatever happens further down, I’m currently trying to see what I can make work on a page so that when I start designing pages I’ve got an idea of what I can do on them, HOW to do them and HOW they’ll fit in with the overall design that I’ll come up with.
So don’t mind the weirdness, everything is as random and exaggerated as it could be, I’m just playing around with stuff to see how it looks.
just a couple of random sticky llama’s that serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever, other than I was looking at how I can fix things at the top of the screen as the page is scrolled. 🙂
Meet ‘Squiggles’, my somewhat simplified variation on my old “Happy Llama” logo. At some point in time |’ll possibly animate him, I might overly complicate him, but for now I have a very simplistic llama made up from a pencil.
Well on the plus side, I’ve got this bit down, so I’m sorted for this for both mobile and desktop 🙂 – although I do need to set a limit for desktop (really doesn’t help developing sites on an ultra wide monitor but hey ho).
I might try doing an animation purely on a page without any of the other stuff that I’ve been doing so I can see that it works.
Really at some point in time I should just do a holding page so I can mess around with all this gubbins without it being stupidly visible that I’m ferkin about.
Seriously I’m just messing about at this stage, but I’ve got lots of ideas coming together so I’m quite excited with possibilities, just working out everything so I can design without compromise.
woohoo, now we’re getting somewhere.
101 plugins later, and I end up doing what I wanted this thing to do with simple css and get the results I want.
Just another day on Earth
A random parallax section
Just testing out some parallax ideas. Weird that despite it being everywhere,
I still keep trying to spell parallax with 2 R’s and 1 L. I vaguely remember a game on the C64 called Parallax which at the time was epic with the parallax, although not quite as good as the dragon game a friend of mine had on his 48k Sinclair Spectrum.
That was a lot cooler but surprisingly I can’t remember what it was called.
Another parallax section
Okay, so I’m starting to get the hang of some of these animation settings, as well as changing font colours, aligning things and so on and so on.
Okeydokey, so I’ve figured out the animations and I’ve figured out the text colour and font styles.
The whole concept behind all of this is so that if I’m doing a website or a webpage in the future I can simply design it with various things in mind, and know that when it comes to turning it into a reality, I don’t spend weeks trying to fathom out how to do something that should’ve been straightforward.
This mouse following background thing was just a random thing I threw in there.
