Yes, it’s a lovely looking site. What interests me is how the background images scroll at a different speed from the foreground stuff. Very nice effect.

Hello everyone,
I really love the way the text reveals itself on the main image on this site. Is there a very easy way to do this in Freeway Pro 7?
I usually use waypoints - another js library to achieve the delays and more.
But allow me another note here:
I’m glad never having touched RapidWeaver ever.
My basic grid persists of 5 DIVs, and I’m always fear of DIVitis. Compared with this page-example, I think I’m super fine with it. Simply unbelievable to examine this code structure.
You say that you usually use waypoints though. Could you describe how I could implement a similar effect to fadeInUp in freeway pro 7. I’ve looked into it and I think it’s a bit above my pay grade
Hi Mark,
If you want to do this the easy way then the Animation FX Action that ships with the Monarch template is based on the animate and wow.js frameworks and allows you to animate elements on the page as they come into view; http://www.freewaystyle.com/monarch/
This is just one of three Actions that currently only ship with this template.

Tim.
I like your Monarch template a lot! How tricky would it be to convert it to a responsive design? I see that it is inline, so I’m thinking it’s pretty feasible. But I’d like to hear your thoughts.
Hi Doty,
I’ve a responsive version of the template for Freeway 7 about 60% done. Some of the content (the Simple Buttons Action items for example) need a little more thought to work with responsive layouts and require a few modifications to the Action to adjust at each breakpoint.
Until that happens it shouldn’t be a major undertaking to adapt the existing template to a flexible and responsive layout. You should be able to make it responsive yourself by changing the currently fixed width items to ‘Fixed (%)’, the width to 100% and the max-width to 960px (see screen grab below). This will make sure the elements will flex to the width of the browser (or container) but not grow beyond their maximum size. From here you can then change items on an item by item basis at each breakpoint using the new Media types setting in Freeway 7 to control how they display in the browser. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/795566/freewaystyle/monarch.png

ending up in adding a class to the item I’d like to animate via item extended dialogue such as:
class="animated fadeInRight delay-500ms"
This all works above the fold. For things behind it, JS is required.
I haven’t wrapped this in a screencast so far. I’ll do - but if it will be only available in the lounge. There I can much better have an eye on my subscribers - teaching them the “how to” but also giving them the fair words of warning without influencing the public at large.
Thomas, when I’m working on my own files and using a technique I learned in your awesome screencasts, I hear your accent in my head as I work and smile!
Just wanted to thank Thomas and Tim for all the feedback and advice. I’ll be putting them into motion over the next couple of days, with that in mind, Tim - I’ll be in touch soon!
Thomas, if the screen cast is ready sometime soon please let me know as I’d be interested to sign up and learn the ropes.
can confirm hereby that I produced two episodes on animate css this weekend. But have to inform you as well, that I haven’t covered the JS stuff so far (behind the fold).
But with this, you’d be able to create the text-effects on load (or above the fold) such as seen on walk-through-the-park.
Cheers
Thomas
@Doty
Hm. Never thought about mind-manipulation just by strange accent. But it’s indeed worth further thinking about :-)))
