The basic version of this skin gives you three 2 column skins each with a different menu. A standard TopMenu, a NavBar like menu and a LeftMenu. ( menu's are based on unordered list structure using the included Snapsis CSS NavMenu ( check for more info on whats also included in that package - Several more Snapsis css skins and menu styles )
This is a basic version of the skin if you just need a very clean very fast skin. You can change this around add more coluns, split columns etc.( documentation included )> want to change the main color, also very easy just do a search and replace with your own color code.
The included CSS allows you to change the nr of columns or the width of the columns mainly by changing a class name or adding a DIV in the .ascx skin. So anyone with a basic HTML knowledge can extend it himself. The max number of columns is 16 ( although is quite useless to use this many columns it does give an idea of the flexibility.
The whole layout is done using floats and all IE6 hacks ( float and double margin issues ) are in place. The design also comes with 3 simple containers that can be extended upon. Just follow the included documentation on how to use and what to change and what not to change.
The whole design is grid based ( see http://www.subtraction.com/pics/0703/grids_are_good.pdf for a more precise explanation about he how and why of grid systems.
The included menu is from http://www.snapsis.com. By buying this skin you also have the right to use this menu on one DotNetNuke installation
The JavaScript framework uses jQuery from http://www.jquery.com and this will be auto installed with the skins.
Tested to work on the following browsers:
IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Safari
Not supported:
IE5, although not supported the skin does seem to work only thing that is different from the above browsers is that the design is not centered in the browsers but the column structure is intact.
SUPPORT PLANS
I am working on a new site with more examples and extra menus more skin packs and an enterprise license that allow you to use this in your own skins for as many clients as you like. Ofcourse an enterprise license for the Snapsis Menu would also be needed for that.
The prize for the enterprise plan would be Euro 99,- a year. This would include add-ons like more menu templates, more skins, better looking skins more tutorials, all kind of client side interactivity like ( drag & drop, accordions sliders etc ) and even some support on how to convert your own designs into this HTML/CSS layout
