Wedding Website

For my wedding I wanted to program the website myself. It was nice to return to building a website just using css and jQuery.

I went for a simple one page scrolling sidebar slideshow, similar to an example I found elsewhere. I picked a red and gold theme.

Some of my favorite components/features are:

• The "See more" buttons
• The slideshow that changes based on markers
• The scroll to a point
• The footer that is tucked behind the sidebar body

I don't often program websites with this much information, its amazing how good a full bodied website can look.

I used Google Icons from Google Fonts, which are incredibly interesting. They sub in a font that looks like a section of an icon so that the whole word look like the font. You can tell because you can copy an icon and it will paste as the word. For example, the book icon would be segmented into 4 parts, the b becoming the left part of the left page, the k the right part of the right page, the o's make the left and right side of the spine.
