A Really Nice Way To Handle Popup Information

2011-08-19T17:38:00.003+07:00

Doug Neiner gave a fantastic talk at this year's Front End Design Conference. He covered a lot of stuff there, which you can see in his slides, but I'd like to highlight one thing in particular: the way he handled popup information in the demo. I'm going to try and re-explain it...

Let's say our goal is this: hover over an image to display extra information (like the title of the image and a URL).

Pretty darn simple design pattern right? Well, not really. There are a lot of subtle things to consider. Let's start from the simplest possible way and improve it.

Simplest way: hide/show with CSS

If our markup is:

<figure>

<img src="image.jpg" alt="cool image">

<figcaption>

     <h3>Cool Image</h3>

     <a href="http://coolplace.com">http://coolplace.com</a>

</figcaption>

</figure>

We'll use the <figcaption> as the popup info. We'll hide it by default, then display it when the image is rolled over:

ficaption {

display: none;

}

figure:hover figcaption {

display: block;

}

But... it's so abrupt.

Fade in/out

We can chill it out with CSS transitions.

ficaption {

opacity: 0;

-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3s ease-out;

  -moz-transition: opacity 0.3s ease-out;

   -ms-transition: opacity 0.3s ease-out;

    -o-transition: opacity 0.3s ease-out;

       transition: opacity 0.3s ease-out;

}

figure:hover figcaption {

opacity: 1;

}

We could get even fancier there if we wanted by applying different durations.

But... popups come up even if we are just quickly moving our mouse past and likely not interested in seeing popups.

"Hover Intent"

If we get JavaScript involved, we can get a little fancier. There is a jQuery plugin called hoverIntent which can be useful in preventing unwanted hover behavior. It imparts a bit of a delay before an event is fired, so quickly mousing over things won't trigger a popup but slowing down and stopping on an image will.

You could apply that like this:

$("figure").hoverIntent(function() {

$("figcaption", this).fadeTo(400, 1);

}, function() {

$("figcaption", this).fadeTo(400, 0);

});

But... now all the images use hoverIntent, which means that the slight delay to see the popup can be very annoying if you are specifically trying to browse the images and see the information. As Doug put it "my brain can think faster than that."

And finally: The Really Nice Way (doTimeout)

We like first part of hoverIntent, where quick mouseovers don't trigger the popup, but once we trigger one popup we want subsequent popups to happen quickly with no delay. If the user leaves the image area for a little bit, the delay is imparted again.

This makes use of the doTimeout plugin by Ben Alman. Admittedly, this gets a bit complex:

var li_cache, over = false;



$( "figure" )

	.delegate( "figcaption", "mouseenter", function ( e ) {

		var $li = $( this ), speed;



		if ( li_cache === this && over ) {

			$.doTimeout( "hoverOut" );

			return;

		}



		if ( over ) {

			$.doTimeout( "hoverOut", true );

			speed = 0;

		} else {

			$.doTimeout( "hoverOut" );

			speed = 500;

		}



		$.doTimeout( "hoverIn", speed, function () {

			over = true;

			$li.find( "div" ).fadeTo( 200, 1.0 );

		});

	})

	.delegate( "figcaption", "mouseleave", function ( e ) {

		var $li = $( this );



		$.doTimeout( "hoverIn" );

		$.doTimeout( "hoverOut", 500, function () {

			over = false;

			$li.find( "div" ).stop( true ).fadeOut();

		});

	});

Super nice. This improves the popup information reveal in such a natural and subtly enjoyable way that it's kind of a shame it's so difficult to implement. But it's worth it.

Doug's GitHub Repo

Go grab the GitHub Repository for this. Doug did a great job putting this together and it's educational as heck. You can see the progression through all the different hover functionalities just by commenting/uncommenting some function names. Beyond that, this example covers using jQuery templating, "Mockjax" (hijacking AJAX requests for local development) and more.

Seriously, I'm not even going to post a live demo, go download his repo and open the index.html file in a browser.

6 tips to create better one-page websites

2011-07-26T18:10:00.004+07:00

6 tips to create better one-page websites

One-page websites are hot and popular—no doubt about that. But they aren’t for everyone or every business. It’s easy to want one because they’re popular; and if done correctly, yours could be a hit. But make sure you’re project qualifies first.

A good candidate for a one-page website is not super-heavy on content. You only have one page to get your point across, and there are only so many animations and tricks you can throw in before they get stale.

Plus, most one-page websites are unconventional in their layout. Trying to fit a lot of content onto one page without looking cluttered is pretty tough.

Potential uses vary, but some of the most popular candidates for one-page websites are personal portfolios and websites for businesses that sell only a few products or services.

If you qualify, make sure your website hits the mark. There are always certain things you have to follow through on when making any website, but the points below are especially critical to single-page websites.

1. Stay focused

Make everything as simple as possible for the audience. Chances are, if you are considering a single-page website, you probably don’t have a ton of content. That’s fine. We’re sometimes tempted to add a lot of fluff to our websites. Single-page websites don’t require any fluffing because their sole purpose is to get to the point. If you are a designer putting together a portfolio, present your best work; don’t get distracted by mediocre projects or your side t-shirt business.

Strip your website of any fluff, and get down to the stuff that matters. While this is a good strategy for any website, most multi-page websites can get away with a bit of fluff, because users will usually know where to find the information they want. With one-pagers, you get one shot, and if the information someone is looking for is not there, you’ll lose them.

There is no question about what this e-commerce website is selling.

This portfolio gets right to the point. A pretty wonderful minimalist design, too.

2. Give the layout a hierarchy

Along with maintaining the visitor’s focus, a single-page website is supposed to showcase your product or service. If you think about one-page websites you’ve come across, they probably have a singular purpose, whether to showcase an agency’s design work or to drum up interest in an upcoming event.

A great design and focused layout can help define your website’s purpose. You, as the designer, have the power to direct the visitor’s eyes where you want them to go. People naturally notice big things first and small things last, so use that to your advantage. Important things should not be the smallest or last things on the page.

Those large-font introductory paragraphs have become so popular on designer portfolios because they get to the point quickly and sound appealing to people looking for a designer. The last thing you probably want to see is what school they graduated from. But you do want to know what they specialize in and what kind of work they do.

Again, you have precious few opportunities to get your message across, so get it right. If you find that you have too much content to be able to do this, then consider going with a multiple-page website.

While this website makes several different points, even within this screenshot, we can pretty much tell what’s most important.

We can tell what this company does, but the visual hierarchy could be better.

3. Clear navigation

Some one-page websites are static pages whose navigation takes the visitor to external websites. For example, a musician might have a navigation option on their website labeled “Videos” that takes you to their YouTube account. Absolutely nothing is wrong with this, and it even makes things easy (especially for non-coders). The only thing is that visitors should know when they are being directed to an external page.

If your one-page website is to showcase a product, and your purchasing link sends customers to an external payment platform without telling them so, you could lose some sales.

Your aim is to keep everything simple. Redirecting users to external websites without warning can be confusing. They might assume that the link is broken or incorrect. Consider using icons (plenty of free ones are out there) or headings to let visitors know where they’re headed.

Here is what not to do. The links at the top take you outside of the website with no warning. This really threw me off.

The design and coding of this website are very unusual. Nevertheless, links to external pages are distinguished by the green circles, and they’re labeled as such.

4. Go design crazy

Now we get to the fun part: using a single-page website to show off. You don’t want the website to be boring or repetitive, so go nuts. Take the design to the next level, and think outside the box. An unorthodox design is fine to draw attention to your product and make it memorable.

One-pagers are becoming synonymous with great design, because you can do more with the bigger canvas. You aren’t forced to use the same background everywhere; you change it across the sections. Scrolling through one-page websites is often like thumbing through a magazine or a well-assembled slide presentation. Exploit the possibilities.

Make the design great, whether by using big pictures that span the full browser window or creating a great illustrated background. You’ll get bonus points and may end up getting featured in Web design showcases.

This design is breathtaking, something like a poster. And the rest of the website does not disappoint.

The cleanness of this design (and the code) is amazing. It makes you stop and stare.

5. Go coding crazy

Much like with the design, you want to show off your coding skills as well. Single-page websites are supposed to be interacted with. The user experience is critical, so pay attention to the details. The code can take your website to the next level.

Some things to pay attention to are the colors and behavior of links (especially the hover selector); the look and behavior of forms (for example, making the form fit the design, and using AJAX and JavaScript validators); submission and error messages (used with the forms and some AJAX); and the grid and placement of content (as well as the content’s behavior in the browser window). All of these should align with the design.

A nice simple way to put code to work on a single-page website.

I may be biased because I like the trick where content loads on scroll, but the attention to detail in the code here is incredible all around.

6. Get it moving

In addition to taking care of the coding details, you can use code to create some movement and excitement on the page. Again, avoid being boring. Give your page a sense of life and motion; make it look like it’s moving with visitors. Add some fun animations or transitions to make the page stand out.

Languages such as jQuery and AJAX have become the standard for creating movement on a website. Whether you make the content fade in from different sides or make the background a slideshow, keep the audience engaged.

This background is an animation. I have no clue what the website is about, but it looks neat.

The transitions on this website are excellent. Love this one!

Google Doodle 14 February : Valentine

2011-02-14T21:29:00.007+07:00

Bukan Google namanya kalau tidak kreatif :).

Seperti biasa dalam menyambut hari - hari penting Google selalu menampilkan logo / doodle yang menarik. Sama seperti hari ini ( 14 February 2011 ), apalagi kalau bukan hari kasih sayang atau hari valentine.

Kalau biasanya hari valentine identik dengan warna - warna pink atau warna lembut, tapi tidak dengan Google doodle hari ini. Logo Google berupa tulisan Google yang dipenggal menjadi dua baris dengan warna yang kontras merah, hijau dan biru.

Huruf "O" pertama diganti dengan hati, sebagai simbol hari kasih sayang. Sedangkan huruf "O" kedua tidak berdiri tegak, agak miring ke kanan.

Sebenarnya ada makna apa dari logo Google hari ini?

Logo Google ini mengadaptasi dari karya Robert Indiana. Robert Indiana merupakan seorang seniman, pematung dan pelukis. Robert Indiana lahir di Newcastle, Indiana pada tanggal 13 September 1928. Robert Indiana dikenal dengan karya Pop Artnya. Karya - karyanya biasanya berupa kata - kata singkat dengan huruf - huruf berjenis bold seperti kata "HUG", "EAT" dan "LOVE".

Logo Baru Starbucks

2011-02-08T18:08:00.009+07:00

Mendengar kata Starbucks yang terpikir pertama oleh Anda pasti kopi. Ya, mungkin karena sudah "saking" melekatnya image kopi tersebut. Nah, memasuki tahun ke 40 ini Starbucks meremajakan logonya.

Sebenarnya ini bukan berita baru, karena secara resmi Starbucks sudah merubah logonya tanggal 5 January 2011 lalu. Tapi ada beberapa hal yang menurut saya pribadi menarik dari perubahan logo - logo Starbucks tersebut ( Starbucks sudah merubah logonya empat kali ).

Yang pertama, perubahan warna dominan. Saat logo pertama Starbucks menonjolkan warna coklat, sedangkan logo kedua dan ketiga mulai dikombinasikan dengan warna hijau. Dan logo terakhir ini justru warna coklat yang dihilangkan. Tapi dengan menghilangkan warna coklat ini justru Starbucks kembali menggunakan single colour.

Yang kedua, dengan hilangnya kata - kata " Starbucks Coffee" kini Starbucks tampil dengan iconic logo. Biasanya brand atau perusahaan yang memilih logo jenis iconic merupakan perusahaan yang sudah memiliki image yang kuat. Maksudnya dengan hanya melihat logo putri duyung atau siren, orang sudah langsung tau kalau itu Starbucks, karena memang logo putri duyung itu sudah identik dengan Starbucks.

Beberapa contoh iconic logo adalah ikon "check" milik nike, inisial "M" milik McDonald's, icon "kerang" milik Shell.

Menarik bukan?

Google Doodle 8 February : Jules Verne

2011-02-08T07:51:00.004+07:00

Sudah buka Google hari ini ( Selasa, 8 February 2011 ) ? Temanya seperti gambar diatas, menarik bukan?
Ilustrasinya seperti didalam sebuah kapal selam, disebelah kanan terdapat tuas empat arah yang dapat digerakkan. Ketika tuas digerakkan pemandangan yang terlihat dari jendela kapal selam akan ikut berubah sesuai arah tuas yang kita gerakkan.

Tema hari yang diambil Google adalah untuk memperingati 183 tahun kelahiran Jules Verne. Jules Verne ( 8 February 1828 – 24 Maret 1905 )adalah seorang pengarang novel berkebangsaan Perancis dan perintis genre fiksi sains. Buku-buku karyanya antara lain Around The World in 80 Days, 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea, Journey to The Center of The Earth, dan Five Weeks on Balloon. Mungkin Novel 20.000 Leagues Under The Sea lah yang mengispirasi Google membuat tema ini.

Penerbitan Prangko seri Shio merupakan salah satu cara untuk turut melestarikan kebudayaan bangsa. Shio adalah simbol binatang yang mewakili 12 siklus tahunan pada kalender China yang berdasarkan peredaran bulan. Dalam kalender China, awal tahun dimulai antara akhir Januari dan awal Februari. Sejak tahun 1911 China mengadopsi penaggalan barat yang berdasarkan peredaran matahari, tetapi penanggalan China masih digunakan sehingga pada umumnya kalender dibuat dalam dua versi, penanggalan Gregorian berdasarkan matahari dan penanggalan China berdasarkan bulan.

Tahun baru China (Imlek) 2562 pada tahun ini bertepatan dengan tanggal 3 Februari 2011, sebagai tahun kelinci dengan unsur emas. Kelinci dalam mitologi China adalah lambang umur panjang dan dikatakan sebagai turunan Bulan. Kelinci juga melambangkan keanggunan, sopan-santun, nasihat baik, kebaikan dan kepekaan terhadap segala bentuk keindahan. Konon, orang yang lahir di bawah shio Kelinci akan menikmati kehidupan yang tenteram, damai, tenang dan amat menyenangkan. Wataknya pendiam, artistik dan memiliki penilaian positif.
