» Anim8ed

This theme is ideal for a classy business, restaurant, bar, photographer or similar website. There is strong focus on the background image which smoothly fades as each page is selected. This can be easily changed using a custom page attribute. The background images are pre-loaded for fast, smooth animations.

The animated navigation menu is automatically generated and you can choose which pages appear using a custom page attribute.

All content is pre-loaded so there are no page refreshes. This makes it perfect for a content-sparse website with up to 7-9 pages.

The content of the static footer bar can be customised using a scrapbook item.

7 different styles you can customise including: text colour, link colour, heading colour and footer background colour.

And your client will love you since there's no scrolling required. Just neat little boxes for the content and it all fits neatly on 1 page. Beautiful!

Tips:

If you'd like to use "advanced" blocks on this theme that have external CSS/JS files, please download this free add-on, Autohead. Just add this block once to your home page and it will automatically include all the required CSS/JS files by "advanced" blocks (such as photo galleries, slideshows, etc).

To install, just download and extract the zip file. Upload it to your "packages" folder via FTP. Navigate to your Dashboard > Add Functionality, then install the Autohead add-on.

Since this theme prevents the browser from scrolling (to keep its cool, sleek style), it can make editing large amounts of content a bit tricky. But don't worry, here's a quick tip: simply set the theme for the home page to "Anim8ed" and leave the sub pages as the default (or any other) theme. Since their content is pre-loaded on the home page, the final result will still look the same. Easy!
