The rich web experience features 9 individual sections of multimedia content (such as Newspapers, Magazines, Television, Entertainment & Syndication, Business Media, Interactive Media, Real Estate & Other Operations) spanning Hearst's many successful properties and their accomplishments last year, including the following functionality and content:
- Video
- Quizzes
- Quote widgets
- Slideshows
- Hybrid scrollbar/slideshow widgets
- Custom scrollbars
- Animated GIFs
- Letter from the CEO translatable into 5 languages
- Print/Share functionality with Facebook, Twitter, Email sharing as well as print/download PDFs
- Full timeline with flip animation for each date across the bottom of every page
- Multiple points of navigation with smooth animation transitions from page to page
We used the CodeIgniter PHP framework version 2.1.0, HTML5, CSS3 (with 3D CSS animation for WebKit browsers), jQuery and AJAX. The website was designed to run on Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer browsers, as well as the iPad. We're proud to have worked on this project and wish Hearst another groundbreaking new year!
The screenshots below are either scrolled up or scrolled down - in some you can see the multicolor navigation at the top, and in others you can see the timeline at the bottom, but they are visible at the same time on the live site.
