That Standards Guy

I actually spotted this via Flickr at the weekend... Faruk AteÅŸ over at Kurafire has released version 8 of his website with some real sweet animation. What's particularly interesting is that he's used CSS and JavaScript to achieve said effects. He's dubbed this FACE - Faruk's Animated CSS Enhancements and has made the whole thing available in a zip file for you to try at home.

There are some wonderful effects going on in places and what appeals to me is the web standards approach - everything degrades nicely with JavaScript disabled and also that you're not locked into using something like Flash that requires a plugin that has accessibility problems.

Head over to KuraFire Network now and keep an eye out for the 21 effects he and Tim Hofman have created.

*gasp* It's full of stars....
