I know it’s been quiet the past few days – I have been working on a new project for Chillstrong called Party Guide NYC (http://www.partyguidenyc.com). The website is aimed at providing a quick and easy way for people to plan their birthday party or event at some of thehottest venues in NYC.
Party Guide NYC features a simply CSS fixed width and centered layout. A simple jQuery image slider is setup on the home page. The slider was coded without the use of any jQuery plugins – and as such requires only a few lines of code (8 to be exact) – thus helping to decrease the website’s load time.
The website features a backend system allowing complete control over the event listings and the venue listings. New events and venues can easily be created, updated and deleted – furthermore events can be marked as “featured” – giving them a more prominent and “sticky” listing on the website.
There is a rotating banner ad system in place on the site – a rather simple one. It simply stores the image file and the link and randomizes the display each time the page is loaded.
