So, I finally got around to coming up with a simple website design for StratusApp.
I thought I would open this up to everyone and try to make a fun little contest for this. The person who converts this PSD to CSS/HTML/Javascript (static only) most creatively and closest to the PSD will win $100 (maybe more depending on how cool it is) and a link at the bottom of this site.
Things that will sway me in picking a winner:
- As much CSS/HTML use as possible (screw IE)
- Simple/subtle transitions/animations
- If I can tell you had fun with it and tried something new
No hard deadline but sooner is better.
Please leave a comment here with a link to the site so everyone can enjoy it too! If you can't comment sent it to me via twitter. :D
I attempted to remake as many graphic assets as I could in CSS3, with the exception of the icon, glyphs, and tooltips (does anyone know how to have the triangle share the border with the rest of the tooltip?), with box-shadows galore, used for inner glow as well! CSS3 animations were generously used, and there's a modal video player for Vimeo which only requires changing the video URL!
99% of it is HTML5/CSS3 with the exception of a tiny bit of JavaScript for the video player!
Of course best experienced in Chrome and Safari (Chrome has smoother animations that I prefer). A little different than some of the others, and I tried to make it as little markup as possible. I might update it a little more, but it would only be tweaking the animations probably.
As you can see with the title, I used 3 images and then CSS to create everything else, even the big shadow underneath the icon. I went at this as a challenge in how much of the design could be written in CSS. I have egregious use of ::before and ::after to create elements as you'll see. And yes if you notice, my "triangle" with continuous border is in all CSS. I have one extra span that I didn't want to add, but just took a shortcut right now. If anything it could be built upon. I'm open to any suggestions to making it better or take a crack yourself - http://jsfiddle.net/3arrett/cfdNS/1/
Now, if only I could have made the Twitter bird shape in CSS....
This is my take on the Stratus App landing page. I decided to change the layout a bit from the original, mainly the Download button. I've also tested it in the five main browsers and on the Iphone. Live version: http://johntidey.tumblr.com/StratusApp
My entry for Jeff's Stratus app competition.
100% hand-coded ! And I used 0 line of javascript.
It's fully compatible with IE9, Firefox, Chrome, Opera & Safari.
Hope you like it !
(Better in webkit with some animations on launch.)

3 Images, rest is CSS/HTML - Rebound of Stratus App
by Joe Barrett
My shot at this. It's not perfect, there's some work that could be done and cleaned up, but I commented my code:

Stratus Markup Competition Entry
by Collin Henderson
My entry for Jeff's Stratus markup competition. Was glad no one took my idea of a blinking status light yet ^__^
However, the blinking light only works in webkit browsers.
Live: http://labs.syropia.net/Stratus/
UPDATE: Added a nice little entrance animation as well :)

If I am coding in CSS3, is it ok? Because of cross-browser compatibility?
