Hi - thought I’d share. Just made my website responsive using the Backdraft template. Still a work in progress, rough around the edges esp the about page (working on now)…
The only problem I have with it was the tablet version of the website - it really didn’t render very well at all - not sure if it was me or the template. So I removed a lot of the code to stop the div performing. To be honest I think as long as the tech is ok then most sites render as is anyway on a tablets…
On first impressions the only small glaring thing I would change JE is the X4 icons that are .jpegs EG ‘computercode.jpeg’ to .png with transparent backgrounds as you can see the graphic edges against the #ffffff background! Small But makes all the difference
As always, spectacular job Justin! Your websites are all such works of art.
On the home page: “No matter how good the website looks if no one can find it?” - I think that could use a rephrasing, something like “Does is matter how good your website looks is no one can find it?”
Yes I had to email Caleb - just looking to find that email and its vanished… It wasn’t hard just a fair bit of clicking on the dimensions - which I just dont recall… So I am bound to forget something which will make it a mare for you if you try to implement and I left something out!
email him he’ll prob just send on the email he sent me with images too so v easy to follow…
Happy to email you my website home page so you can figure out from that though…
A Hype animation can’t be used with Backdraft very well because Hype has to work with a defined pixel area, much like Walters Carousel. It won’t shrink with the rest of the website.
Ok, I had thought i saw a carousel in the one Justin did …

Like my slider on the homage - its not truly responsive it just grows with the size of the area. ie the test will shrink too. Real responsive sliders keep the text readable all the way etc
