Responsive Design

Making webpages that work for various screen sizes is one of the most important techniques today. This webpage was designed to be a good place for students to cut their teeth on responsive design. The simple layout makes it easy to make this page squish down into something that looks good on mobile. You can check out the full project and see for yourself.

Animated Flip Effect

As an added bonus, I built in an animated flip effect that works when you hover the mouse over each album cover. However, you run into a bit of a problem with this on mobile, because there is no real hover state on mobile and because of that the flip effect was behaving erratically. To fix this problem, I had to write some tricky JavaScript removing the hover effect and putting it entirely in the hands of JavaScript to properly handle both a mouseOver event and a tap event for mobile. You can see the slightly broken one if you open it on your phone here:

Mobile Navigation

Even though the other pages of this site have not been built out, I wanted students to practice building mobile navigation. This page has a simple menu with just a few links. It is not too difficult to convert this menu into something that will work well on mobile. The placement of the link to the menu on the right hand side and making it quite large is important for mobile users. If you try the site on your phone, you will see it is not too difficult to tap the menu and access the menu items. Often time, navigation on mobile can be a problem for a variety of reasons.
