Nivo Slider Slideshow / Gallery Positioning Problem

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Mat

Here at Baker Designs – Web Design Halifax we use the Nivo Slider by Dev7Studios a lot. In fact, we think it is a superb jQuery plugin! We have had no problems with it up until now…

Last week two of our sites using this plugin started to position the slider all wrong. The first image was fine, but the next image did not cover the first, it was aligned more to the bottom of the slider.

————-

The problem with the slider was that we use the link to the newest version of jQuery through Google, and when the new version recently came out, it caused the Nivo Slider to act differently. To sort this out was very simple. Link to the jQuery version 1.6 and the Nivo Slider Positioning Problem should be sorted!

Here is what our link looks like – in the <head> section of our site, we are still using the link from Google…

<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js”></script>

Now the websites which had the Nivo Slider Positioning problem are fine.

A Big Project for our Web Design Halifax team!

Posted on October 28, 2011 by Mat

We recently teamed up with one of our good business friends to discuss a new venture for the both of us. It will be called Extra-Hours, but that is about all we can tell you i’m afraid! We are very exited and the project is about 65% complete at the moment.

If you take a look in our portfolio you can see a design of the website, but our team has been working on some great features using jQuery. Sliding down login screens, fading image sideshows are just some of the effects you will see on our new site. Our web design Halifax PHP programming team have been very busy on this project, but all the hard work is starting to pay off! It’s looking great!

As soon as we finish this site, we will post a link on our portfolio page for you to look at, you may even want to sign up, it’s going to be free!

Baker Designs – Web Design in Halifax is Happy to be Joining the World of WordPress!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Mat

Here at Baker Designs Halifax web design we have been wondering for a while whether setting up a blog would be beneficial to us as a company. After a couple of months and our SEO team desperate for one, here it is!

We decided to use the simple but effective WordPress software. It was super quick to set up, and not much hassle to edit the CSS code (Styling). Now we can share our thoughts and feelings with the world from the small town of Halifax!

The main reason we have added a blog to our site is to connect better with our clients, but mainly for the search engine rankings it will give us. Our basic site only contains 4/5 different pages, meaning our competition just had it over us on the amount of content and keywords. A blog can provide an excellent place to add rich keyword content to your site, like “Web Design Halifax” and also gives you more room to expand a website and get your customers involved with the comments section.

We hope you enjoy reading our Halifax web design (<< A cheeky one) blog in the near future!
