Rhythm Web Design

Since the creation of the designer we decided to make a very non typical decision for web designers by including javascript functionality in our web designs.  Currently the design tool support collapsable feature containers, css windows, and now we have included javascript drop down menus as well. 

While anyone can easily choose not to use these things, it is more difficult to choose to use them if you don't know how to make them and definitely they can take a significant amount of time in the development of a website.   Since the components in the designer are all individually styled we thought it best to make them as robust as possible.  Therefore, three new classes have been added to both the top menu and the main menu component types. 

.HasSubMenu, .SubMenu, .SubItem

These three new classes allow the designer to add style support for drop down menus off of any menu style, or fly out menus (for left and right floated menus).  The javascript functions used to display the drop down are very non-intrusive and should work well with almost any style. 

We hope you enjoy the new menu system, which we feel is particularly usefull in business or commercial websites.   You can see samples in the designer with our Documentation menu.

Beta testing for the new website design tool has begun here at Rhythm Web Design.  The new designer can be accessed at rhythmwebdesign.com/designs/new .  Our team here is very excited to allow you to start using the new system.  We are currently finalizing documentation and working hard to provide a robust Style Library which will allow everyone to easily create great looking and unique web designs. 

Look back to this blog for more information about whats going on with this site and for interesting things we find as we try to provide all the latest cool designs in our public style libraries. 

Feel free to start creating (and saving) your own designs or styles. 

If you know of any great sites, special designs, or styles we can have a look at please contact us  and we will be happy to link them here in this blog.
