Effect Ideas for Image Grids with jQuery & CSS

Today we’d like to share some inspiration for image grid effects. The idea is to animate the grid item when opening it, the other grid items’ disappearance and the new content. The content shown can be anything from just the larger version of the image and a title (think image gallery) or something like an album view. The common effect to all is the animation of the clicked grid image: we move it to the desired spot, scale it up and then replace it with a larger version. This creates a direct flow between the grid and the other (full) view.

A Newbie’s Guide to A/B Testing - #infographic

Knowing what does and doesn’t work for your website can be what makes your site a success or a fail so it’s essential that you know what effect any changes you make have on your visitors.

The latest infographic from VWO, the visual website optimizer, have looked at the method of A/B testing and what any newbies to the testing scene need to know before they conduct their own website tests.

A/B testing is the method of having two versions of your website online at the same time and dividing your live traffic between the two sites. One version of your site will be the normal as-it-is version whilst the second will be the version where your tweaks have been made. By dividing your traffic, you can see how viewers respond to the changes before you put them into place.

By A/B testing your website, you can potentially increase conversion rates by up to 300 percent according to VWO so it seems something that’s crucially important in surviving in the cut throat digital world. Take a look at the infographic below and go forth as an A/B testing wizard.

Understanding PhantomJS

Since its release, PhantomJS has become a staple in the workflow of many JavaScript engineers. In the article titled “Headless WebKit and PhantomJS”, Colin Ihrig has introduced the concept of “Headless WebKit” and spent a few words on PhantomJS. With over 11,000 stars on GitHub, PhantomJS has become the go-to tool for developers, especially when dealing with testing their code. However, there are still many developers who have to refrain from implementing this tool in their projects due to lack of knowledge of what it really is.

To help fill this gap, in this article I’ll explain the core concepts of PhantomJS, and try to demystify some of the complexities that often seem to confuse developers. Once read this article, you will have a deep understanding of what PhantomJS is and why it is considered such a powerful tool.

"A Headless What?"

On PhantomJS’ website, the technology is explained as follows:

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards: DOM handling, CSS selector, JSON, Canvas, and SVG.

Clearly, of you who are new to PhantomJS will probably find some difficulties in seeing a number of foreign terms. This description might overwhelm aspiring developers, and make those new to the technologies believe that it is only for very expert developers. However, I can assure you that these concepts are quite simple to understand. PhantomJS is a web browser that exists only in script. There is no GUI, but rather a headless browser that can automate different processes with JavaScript.
