It's Alive!

If you've ever visited Arbor Web Solutions before, you'll know that what you are seeing now is something very different. This new theme is the result of four months of planning and work. I decided in October that I needed to create a theme to show off my skills - something more complicated than just new graphic design work. That led to investigations into HTML5, CSS3, and responsive web design. Arbor Web Solutions is now a responsive design, switching from a slim, linear design for narrow-width windows and devices to a three-column layout. Both layouts scale with the width of the browser - including images!

With some help from Modernizr.js, fancy CSS3 effects like transforms and transitions trigger on supported browsers - and are totally omitted on browsers that don't support them. I'm very happy with the new design, but my work isn't done yet. In particular, IE is limited to the "mobile" base stylesheet, and my IE testing has been minimal (but there are no showstopping bugs on IE7). I'll be continuing to work on the design this week, and I hope to be finished by Sunday. Thanks for reading, and please enjoy the results of my work!
