The new versions of the websites Terry’s Village and Oriental Trading were launched at the beginning of the month. My main contribution to these projects were the tabbed sections on the home page of each site. This was the first time that I had used jQuery Tools and I found it pretty easy to work with. The trickiest part was adding another link for “view all” within the tab, since the whole tab was already a link itself to a corresponding tab pane. I ended up using a button with an onClick event to keep the link from being treated like a tab. I still need to figure out how to link directly to a certain tag without a page reload. More jQuery goodness coming in the future.

I’ve created a section in the site for my Web Design projects. I will be putting up some of my previous web design projects immediately and adding others as they come along. Check out the new Web Design section and contact me via email at shawn [at] ssarts [dot] com if you need any web design work done.
