Hello, this is a new site i've made for an architect. It heavily uses the jQuery JS framework. Check out the 'projects' page for a sliding accordion menu. If the items for each sub category contains more than 5 items, a 'sliding'
interface is created (check the 'design' category).
I'm satisfied about the achieved results, what do you think?
jQuery rocks!!!
Ciao

really nice and clean, i like it.
the only thing that i dont like about the site is that you get used to all the subnav being on the right hand side, i dont like the jump when you go the Projects section that it jumps to the left for that page then all the other nav and 'back' nav is back on the right again.
people might get the impression of getting lost. i was going to pull you up for having too many different rules or templates but it's only that page i noticed - its just cos i was slicking back and forward to and from it.You also might want to look at the white background you've used too, maybe its TOO clean and white as it seems to be reflecting some of the images you are putting on the site

maybe you've been polishing it too much

the kerning is inconsistent from page to page and it's especially too tight on the projects page..

Looks nice & clean except for the portfolio pop-up, image gallery. Why would use use a templated overused image gallery engine? It's makes the website feel cheap and not well though out. Everyone and their mother is using that shareware, free gallery engine, it actually made me close the site. Other than that, the web 2.0 style looks nice.

Those free gallery engines are also called "unobtrusive JS enhancements" meaning if you have javascript disabled on your browser, the link will act like normally it should (load a new page and show a jpg). If you have js turned on (default), you got your gallery, effects and ajax calls working. That way (and with many other gallery engines _but_ not only galleries) if you just add a class to the link (like class="doGal" or div with class="dosomethingmagic"), the JS framework (jQuery in this case) will build all the shiny bits without having to alter your html or doing anything special. This is what makes jQuery special, the possibility to use the plugins (piece of code you just have to implement into your markup - like i did with this image gallery).
If that modal window seems already outdated for ya, it's because you can't appreciate the great advantage of just pulling a list of links form a database, apply one css statement to it and let jQuery do all the 'heavy lifting' for you in building the gallery.
I forgot to mention that this site worksand look the same on every browser and platform... well not really, Opera and IE6 doesn't properly render the reflection of the images (wich again is just a piece of javascript that automatically reflects each image you want)If you look at the source of the projects.php page, you'll see it's just a list with indented lists.

I like it. Simple and clean.
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the usage of slashes to separate the main menu items. To me it looks like the bread-crumb (a really big one but still a bread-crumb)
