cssvault - inspiring creativity

As you can see above, I submitted this site....I love it. I find it really visually refreshing on the eyes...and I have no clue why :-) The header is beautiful, navigation bar is simple but nice. The entire design seems to reflect the local culture, which is very fitting considering the latest entry.

It looks decent, but I'm confused as to why he used flash to create the rollovers on his navigation. Using flash is pretty much overkill to make 2-state rollovers.

I think the Flashisn't necesary at all, because the font looks like Times

You're absolutely right...I didn't even pick up on that. He should definitely change that. I think he's taking his sFIR a little too far :-)

What's wrong with using Flash for navigation exactly? One of the greatest advantages of using sIFR over other IR techniques is it solves the problem of CSS On/Images off scenarios. That is the primary problem with all other CSS-based image replacement techniques such as the standard FIR or it's derivatives. This site *could* use an all CSS approach for the navigation, but we all know that fonts and fonts alone do not satisfy most designers needs. The navigation looks much, much cleaner with sIFR than plain text, even if it is just Times. That's something I actually like about this site, the author has adapted sIFR in a way which I have not yet seen on a site (that's not to say that this is the first site to do such a thing). Using sIFR to better control the hover state, that is cool!

You do have a point...using sIFR for navigation won't actually hurt anything....excellent post, Jusin. Kudos to Prabhath.

Thanks for the comments everybody. It feels great to be vaulted. All I wanted to say about using sIFR on the navigation was much better said by Justin. It really is an easy and convenient way to spice up a site.

I also don't understand why the creator used Flash for not only the side menu, but the page headers and sub-headers as well. Why? A waste of space, bandwidth, and loading time.

Nice Ben, maybe you should read *all* the posts before posing such a question. > Waste of space, bandwidth, and loading time What would you call tradtional image replacement techniques? They are more bandwidth intensive, require more storage space on the server and all IR costs loading time, not just sIFR. Let's see, compare a 13K SWF file that only needs to be downloaded 1 time to the visitor browser. It can then be applied to an infinite number of elements to replace text with more pleasing Flash-based imagery. Traditional IR requires a custom image for each element you are trying to replace.. each requiring a separate HTTP Request, costing more bandwidth. It's no wonder the big sites such as ESPN and CBS News chose sIFR over the alternatives (not to mention *who* led those web design teams).

I absolutely love this. Great Job!

I should clarify that by "fonts and fonts alone" I'm talking about web fonts. I'm pretty sure everyone is happy with their font selection in Photoshop (or equal) ;) This site makes me want to start playing with Flash, which I have never been interested in for one reason or another.

Not one of my favorite designs, but the use of whitespace is well done.
