Design Hive site redesign

I’ve just completed a rebuild of our company website, again using Textpattern to power it. I’ll post some details of the build, technologies used and performance review later.

Design Hive Ltd website

Plugins used:

It’s all displayed high resolution on compatible screens. Responsive images are achieved via a combination of smd_thumbnail and img srcset (with a fallback to Picturefill for unsupported browsers and then a fallback to standard image if JS turned off on unsupported browsers).

I’m not supporting IE8 at all any more, so that browser is of no concern to me.

Love your use of the bee/honey metaphor across the whole site.

Re: Design Hive site redesign

Hi Pete,

Thanks – I’m aware of that (it is a breakage upgrading from autosize v1 to v2) – hoping to fix later today with a couple of other bugs (and the lorem ipsum text – lol).

Re: Design Hive site redesign

Figured you had it on your radar – no snark toward your new (amazing) website intended, btw.
