Last month I launched a new version of 4mmgames.com. It existed previously as a flash-based site, but since iPhones and mobile devices do not display flash content, the client decided to overhaul the site. I used Ariel Flesler’s SerialScroll for the transition effect between the pages (see it on 4mm website!). The deliverables included content management and mobile device compatibility.

4mm provided the design and the graphics. The trickiest part of the site was making the foreground and background slide independently. The next trickiest was always centering the content and the background, even when the window is resized.
The sliding inspiration came from Carrot Creative, which also uses the SerialScroll library for its website. Figuring out the independent scrolling of foreground vs. background, however, was all experience and brain power.
Dzineblog compiled a list of websites that use horizontal scrolling as a design theme. Perhaps this will inspire your creative juice.
Now I’m almost done with another overhaul of a flash-based website, this time for an art gallery. Seems like flash is going by the wayside…
