Transparent WordPress Custom Theme

Playing with the XO Theme Version 3.3.x from Semiomantics and CSS3, I notice how easy it is for most anyone to customize the XO Theme by adding transparencies and other CSS3 elements. Here below you find some drafts. You may visit the test site from : http://globalthebrand.com.

Transparent WordPress Gallery

Scripts and Plug-ins

On the test site we use the Semiomantics Widgets and Theme Handler plug-in as well as a modified Supersized plug-in; the latter needs some more work to make it more responsive. Also we use TubePress which behaves fine also on mobile.

The Theme is Semiomantics XO with 3 custom child-themes; any theme can be associated with any page, post, category, tag or sidebar.

Global Sports US Logo

For the purpose of creating an animated version of the Global Sports US logo, it was necessary to partially redesign it and to vectorize it. The next step was then to take it to Adobe Premier Pro to animate it. Listen Up Londow, who are doing video clips for Global, requested a simple rotation every 20 seconds.

Publishing and Editing Images

Publishing and Editing Images

As our previous post showed: images are great to improve the surfing experience of our visitors. The way we edit however is an important component for different reasons: if we embed large pictures into a post or page, the first impression can be smashing but it can be at the expense of fast loading pages. There are a few remedies to the loading problems you may encounter.

How to assure fast page loading

The best solution from a user’s point of view: get a fast internet connection.If I am running the previous post on a 24 MB/s line, it’s a piece of cake. If you live in a country where fast lines are not available, then you are at the mercy of webmasters who load less demanding stuff.

Thumbnail images

Thumbnails load fast and can then expand to most any size. Chose a thumbnail format which is still big enough to attract the curiosity of your visitor.

Example: this is a 120x80 thumbnail. It gives a ‘small’ idea about what the big picture could be.

Bianca Gubalke on the Cover

Embed medium size Images

If a picture is less attractive as a thumbnail, just embed a medium size format:

Example: 300 wide for this one.

Hanno Coetzee Personalized Business

Embed maximum width Image only exceptionally

One big image in a post will not hurt. But if you embed multiple pictures, loading time will increase dramatically.

Example: 500 wide.

Larrie Perkins Online Filing in Asia

Here we choose the big size because the thumb or 300 would not really have any significant effect.

Use Slide Shows

Slide shows also allow us to save time depending on how they load.

Check it out our next post.

Use overlay display for large pictures.

Check out the extra large versions of the above pictures by clicking on them:

Also, some pictures will only develop the desired effect in big format: click to see Ismail from Global Sports :-).

As you can see: this page loads much faster than the previous post about Besma Bashier HERE.

Join tonight’s YORGOO Call if you are interested in implementing the above. 8 pm London Time at yorGOtalk.

PS: If you would like to learn how to create such images, please post a comment :-).

PPS: I forgot: You can always use Galleries to organize the pics of a post or page in a more balanced way:

Global Sports News

Global Sports powered by YORGOO Press and YORGOO Media

The brand new Global Sports web site is progressing. Some new features have been added, namely flash banners for the header and a 120x600 skyscraper to feature snap shots from the life at Global Sports. New Media modules have also been installed.

Global Sports Product Header

The top flash banner consists of 4 header banners rotating using a flash rotator providing also the random shutter transitions.

To see the banners in original size, just click on any one of the images and navigate from the overlay browser.

Global Sports new Home Page Look

The look of the site changes completely with these dynamic elements. The header can be used to feature hot products, custom products, promos or any other item by just replacing the existing banners. (Full size view on click.)

Global Sports People Display

The Side banner is composed of 7 separate banners which are loaded to a flash rotator similar to the head banner. I will not display them all here but here are some of them:

How about Music while visiting the site?

Global Sports Music

Visitors to Global Sports may like to get the vibe by listening into some of Global’s preferred tracks by using the small but hot YouTube player. The idea is simple: Create a play list on YouTube and load it to the player.

For the test run we have just selected tracks from friends of Global Sports, such as SholaÂ Ama and JP Esq.

The music player is located on top of the People’s Gallery:

Global Sports Media

JP Esq on Global Sports

Some of the sequences have been shot at the Global Sports Store in London!

Shola Ama on Global Sports

Try to find Shola Ama on the Featured Peoples’ Gallery :-).

Check it out on the site.

Nike, Adidas, Jordan and Friends

A second YouTube module is on display right under the featured Images on top left of the site. We are testing the home page holding 3 YouTube players now, the third one being in the sidebar right, close to the bottom of the page.

Adidas Nike Jordan and Friends

This second player displays brand ads Nike, Adidas, Jordan and others. It’s just one more media component which can be used for other purposes, for example to display video clips of customization of sneakers and caps or Limited Edition products.

Just for the record: the third video, located in the right sidebar at the bottom is the latest clip loaded to Global Sports US own built-in video gallery.

Global will select which features it wants to display. As they are all loaded, one can also imagine a changing display, depending on the mood, the weather, the price of tofu, or other good, scientific founded reasons.

More soon.
