5 raisons de faire appel au crowdfunding pour lancer sa start-up

5 raisons de faire appel au crowdfunding pour lancer sa start-up:
Je me suis spécialisé dans les nouvelles solutions de financement et de partage. Dans ce cadre l’année dernière à Madrid, j’ai participé aux côtés des membres de la maison de production espagnole Riot Cinéma Collective , au développement de son long métrage de science fiction El Cosmonauta. Avant eux, je n’avais pas mesuré les similitudes qui pouvaient exister entre réussir à produire son film et lancer sa start-up à l’ère du numérique.

Une volonté de bousculer l’ordre établi et de faire évoluer le modèle économique du cinéma

Retour tout d’abord sur l’originalité du projet et ses valeurs fondamentales. Pour la première fois,  la maison de production espagnole utilise des solutions innovantes comme le crowdfunding et les licence Creative Commons pour produire son long métrage, qu’elle diffusera gratuitement sur internet sans avantage de sortie.
Ce qui pouvait apparaître comme une aberration économique, il y maintenant deux ans, est devenu une stratégie réfléchie et ambitieuse. Les jeunes responsables de la maison de production, Nicolás Alcalá, Carola Rodríguez et Bruno Teixidor ont, selon eux, juste décidé de voir internet comme un atout et les internautes comme des alliés et non des voleurs
Ils sont pour moi le meilleur exemple de ce que pourrait vous apporter le crowdfunding, si vous lancez en ce moment votre start-up.

Ce que va vous apporter le crowdfunding si vous l’utilisez pour lancer votre start-up

La plupart des startups sont très fragiles durant toute la période de démarrage de l’activité. Vous pouvez avoir le meilleur produit du marché prêt à conquérir le monde, lorsque vous n’avez pas les fonds nécessaires pour vous lancer et faire face à ces premiers temps difficile, votre entreprise est vouée à l’échec.
Voici les 5 raisons pour lesquelles vous devriez choisir le crowdfunding pour financer votre  projet et vous lancer :
1. Ne plus être dépendant de sa banque
Obtenir un prêt bancaire lorsque l’on lance un service ou produit innovant relève aujourd’hui de l’exploit. Vous avez intérêt, si vous vous lancez sur ce terrain-là, de vous armer de patience et de pouvoir démontrer une solidité financière à toute épreuve (vos petites économies mises de côtés péniblement seront vos meilleurs atouts).
Ensuite au-delà des efforts que vous devrez déployer pour convaincre votre conseiller,  vous devrez assumer des risques importants, et subir de nombreuses contraintes, le seul fait de devoir rembourser un prêt à un taux élevé en est une bonne, non ?
2. Profiter d’une publicité gratuite
Si l’intérêt financier n’était pas suffisant. Il faut savoir qu’une campagne de crowdfunding peut être, si vous l’utilisez bien, un fabuleux tremplin pour votre produit.
Le simple fait de faire appel à une solution innovante pour vous financer et  vous lancer sur le marché, va intéresser des blogueurs. En laissant des supports de communication (photos, vidéo) et des documents téléchargeables librement expliquant votre démarche, ils communiqueront pour vous. Alors que d’autres payeront de la publicité, ou une agence relation presse, le succès de votre campagne (je l’espère pour vous) attirera la lumière sur vous, sans que vous ayez eu besoin de prendre contact avec des journalistes et d’essayer de susciter leur intérêt.
3. Validation de votre idée et du marché potentiel
S’il est besoin de le rappeler, tout « Like », contribution ou même partage de votre projet, au-delà de votre cercle de proximité, sont en soi des éléments de validation de votre projet. Dans le cas contraire, si vous recevez des commentaires négatifs ou n’arrivez pas à collecter les fonds nécessaires…
Cela peut être l’occasion d’une remise en cause et d’une refondation salutaire, avant de se lancer sur le marché et de risquer le rejet total, dont il est difficile de se relever.
4. Contrôle total
Conserver tous les droits et rester maître de son projet est l’un des atouts essentiels que l’on ne met pas assez en valeur. Ne pas être soumis aux décisions de partenaires financiers, lorsque l’on lance est tout de même l’un des grands avantages. Avoir des investisseurs (business angels) qui veuillent vous apprendre votre « business », n’est-ce pas cela dont on a tous peur. Créer en toute liberté, sans avoir de comptes à rendre à personne à part à ses clients ou à ses contributeurs, n’est-ce pas ça l’idéal, Avoir l’unique devoir de faire du bon travail et responsabilité de les satisfaire, au moment de la délivrance du produit
5. Une crédibilité accrue
Réussir à promouvoir son projet, à faire en sorte que les gens vous fassent confiance et participent à votre projet donnera confiance à n’importe quel interlocuteur quant à vos capacités en marketing et à mener un projet à terme. Dans le cas des espagnols, dans un monde aussi concurrentiel que le cinéma, libérer le contenu de leur film leur donne un atout marketing non négligeable. Sans cette volonté initiale de se démarquer, El Cosmonauta n’aurait peut-être pas vu le jour, il aurait été considéré comme un autre projet de cinéastes indépendants. De cette façon, en faisant appel aux internautes, en créant une communauté autour de celui-ci et en le diffusant avec une Licence Créative Commons, il est clair que le projet devient beaucoup plus attractif. A l’ère du numérique, le terrain de jeux change, les règles doivent changer aussi. Est-ce que vous êtes prêts à vous adapter ?

10 Free Tools for Testing Website Speed

10 Free Tools for Testing Website Speed:

Since Googles algorithms started to use web page load time as a search ranking parameter, good tools for testing website speed has become important for SEO. If your website is generally slow, taking several seconds to download, it will most likely have a negative influence on your rankings. On the other hand, if your website breaks the speed limits…., it will be an advantage. How much it influences rankings today is difficult to know, but back in 2010 when Matt Cuff announced it, Google estimated about 1% of search results would be influenced. May sound like not worth the effort, but just knowing Google focus on this makes it important.
Most internet users are just as unforgiving as search engines when it comes to slow websites. And users needs comes before SEO always. It is about providing value and solutions, and without too much waiting time!  Therefore, website performance should be one of your top priorities.

Vertical Showcase Slider with jQuery and CSS Transitions

Vertical Showcase Slider with jQuery and CSS Transitions:

View demo Download source
In this tutorial we will create a very simplistic and responsive product slider for an online store or a portfolio. The idea is to have different sections in a fullscreen view: the image or preview, a navigation and the description. When navigating through the items, we will slide the preview section and the section with the description in opposite directions. The idea for this kind of “opposite” transition comes from the beautiful website of the National LGBT Museum which moves the left and right side in the same manner when navigating or scrolling the page.

Please note: this only works as intended in browsers that support the respective CSS properties.

The product images and information used in the demo are by IKEA.
So, let’s do this!

The Markup

We will have a main container which will wrap the following elements: a header, a wrapper for the content or descriptions and a wrapper for the slides:

<section id="ps-container" class="ps-container">

 <div class="ps-header">
  <h1>Vertical Showcase Slider</h1>
 </div><!-- /ps-header -->
 
 <div class="ps-contentwrapper">
 
  <div class="ps-content">
   <h2>Bernhard</h2>
   <span class="ps-price">£100</span>
   <p>With restful springiness in the seat; prevents static sitting and provides enhanced seating comfort. Padded seat and back for enhanced seating comfort. Soft, hardwearing and easy care leather, which ages gracefully.</p>
   <a href="http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/80163804/#/60203882">Buy this item</a>
  </div>
  
  <div class="ps-content">
   <!-- description item 2 -->
  </div>
  
  <div class="ps-content">
   <!-- description item 3 -->
  </div>
  
  <div class="ps-content">
   <!-- description item 4 -->
  </div>
  
  <div class="ps-content">
   <!-- description item 5 -->
  </div>
  
 </div><!-- /ps-contentwrapper -->
 
 <div class="ps-slidewrapper">
 
  <div class="ps-slides">
   <div style="background-image:url(images/1.jpg);"></div>
   <div style="background-image:url(images/2.jpg);"></div>
   <div style="background-image:url(images/3.jpg);"></div>
   <div style="background-image:url(images/4.jpg);"></div>
   <div style="background-image:url(images/5.jpg);"></div>
  </div>
  
  <nav>
   <a href="#" class="ps-prev"></a>
   <a href="#" class="ps-next"></a>
  </nav>
  
 </div><!-- /ps-slidewrapper -->
 
</section><!-- /ps-container -->

The wrapper for the slides will contain the same amount of divisions like the content wrapper and each division will have the respective image as background image. We will also have a navigation that will contain a previous and next anchor. These anchors will also have a background image, but we’ll set it dynamically.
Let’s add some style.

The CSS

Note that the CSS will not contain any vendor prefixes, but you will find them in the files.
Let’s first add a font that we’ve created with fontello.com. This font will only have one character and it’s the little shopping cart for the “Buy this item” link:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'icon';
  src: url("font/icon.eot");
  src: 
 url("font/icon.eot?#iefix") format('embedded-opentype'),
 url("font/icon.woff") format('woff'), 
 url("font/icon.ttf") format('truetype'), 
 url("font/icon.svg#icon") format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

Our aim is to create a layout that is 100% width and height of the screen, so our container will be positioned absolutely and we’ll set the overflow to hidden:

.ps-container {
 position: absolute;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 overflow: hidden;
 text-transform: uppercase;
 color: #555;
 background: #fff;
}

The width and height will be 100%. Note that we’ve set the height of the html to 100% as well (demo.css).
All the children of our main container will have a width of 50% and they’ll be of absolute positioning:

.ps-container > div {
 position: absolute;
 width: 50%;
}

There will be a couple of elements that will share the absolute positioning:

.ps-container > div > div,
.ps-slidewrapper > nav,
.ps-slides > div {
 position: absolute;
}

The header will have a height of 150 pixel and we’ll position it in the top left corner:

.ps-header {
 top: 0px;
 left: 0px;
 height: 150px;
 z-index: 1001;
 background: #fff;
}

The h1 will be styled as follows:

.ps-header h1 {
 color: #ccc;
 line-height: 150px;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0 50px;
 font-weight: 200;
 font-size: 14px;
 letter-spacing: 10px;
}

The content wrapper will need the same top as the height of the header and we’ll set the overflow to hidden:

.ps-contentwrapper {
 top: 150px;
 bottom: 0px;
 overflow: hidden;
 z-index: 1000;
}

The inner divisions will occupy all the width and height of the parent and we’ll give it a bit of padding:

.ps-content {
 background: #fff;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 padding: 50px;
}

Let’s style the text elements. The headline and the paragraph will have some borders to suggest a chair:

.ps-content h2 {
 padding: 10px 15px;
 border-right: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
 letter-spacing: 4px;
 margin: 10px 0 30px;
 text-align: right;
 font-weight: 700;
}

.ps-content p {
 line-height: 26px;
 font-size: 12px;
 letter-spacing: 2px;
 word-spacing: 10px;
 padding: 10px 15px;
 font-weight: 400;
 text-align: justify;
 border-left: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
 border-top: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
}

The price will be floating on the left side and we’ll give it the style of a box:

.ps-content span.ps-price {
 float: left;
 margin: 10px;
 width: 140px;
 height: 140px;
 line-height: 140px;
 text-align: center;
 color: #fff;
 background: #f7cfc6;
 background: rgba(247,197,185,0.8);
 font-size: 55px;
 font-weight: 200;
}

Note that we set a HEX background color before setting a RGBA one. Older browsers that don’t know what RGBA values are will ignore the second line and apply the first color.
The link will have a thick border and we’ll make it green on hover if we are not on a touch device (we use Modernizr for that):

.ps-content a:last-child {
 font-size: 14px;
 font-weight: 700;
 color: #555;
 letter-spacing: 4px;
 float: right;
 border: 3px solid #555;
 padding: 3px;
 text-indent: 4px;
}

.no-touch .ps-content a:last-child:hover {
 color: #b2d79d;
 border-color: #b2d79d;
}

We’ll add the little shopping cart icon by styling the pseudo-class :after:

.ps-content a:last-child:before {
 content: '\53';
 font-family: 'icon';
 font-style: normal;
 font-weight: normal;
 speak: none;
 padding-right: 5px;
}

The container for the slides and navigation will be placed on the right side and it will have a height of 100%:

.ps-slidewrapper {
 right: 0px;
 top: 0px;
 height: 100%;
 overflow: hidden;
}

The wrapper for the slides will be stretched from top: 0px to bottom: 200px. This will keep its height elastic:

.ps-slides {
 top: 0px;
 bottom: 200px;
 width: 100%;
}

The inner divs, the ones that will contain the background image, will have a width and height of 100% and we’ll give them a inset box shadow that will serve as a subtle overlay over the main image preview. We don’t really know how big this division will get so we’ll give it an extremely big spread radius value:

.ps-slides > div {
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px rgba(179,157,250,0.1);
}

The navigation will be positioned at the bottom of the slides container and we’ll give it a fixed height of 200 pixel:

.ps-slidewrapper > nav {
 width: 100%;
 height: 200px;
 bottom: 0px;
 right: 0px;
 z-index: 1000;
}

The previous and next link elements will be floating and we’ll also give them a inset box shadow to create a subtle overlay effect. They will also have a transition for non-touch devices:

.ps-slidewrapper > nav > a {
 width: 50%;
 height: 100%;
 position: relative;
 float: left;
 outline: none;
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px rgba(207,227,206,0.8);
}

.ps-slidewrapper > nav > a:first-child {
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px rgba(233,217,141,0.8);
}

.no-touch .ps-slidewrapper > nav > a {
 transition: box-shadow 0.4s ease-in-out;
}

.no-touch .ps-slidewrapper > nav > a:hover {
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px rgba(246,224,121,0.1);
}

.no-touch .ps-slidewrapper > nav > a:first-child:hover {
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px rgba(249,15,15,0.1);
}

The navigation anchors will have a pseudo-element that will be styled to appear as an arrow. For that we will add a left and top border and rotate them accordingly:

.ps-slidewrapper > nav > a:after {
 content: '';
 position: absolute;
 width: 100px;
 height: 100px;
 top: 50%;
 left: 50%;
 margin: -20px 0 0 -50px;
 transform: rotate(45deg);
 border-left: 1px solid #fff;
 border-top: 1px solid #fff;
}

.ps-slidewrapper > nav > a:first-child:after {
 transform: rotate(-135deg);
 margin: -80px 0 0 -50px;
}

The main previews and the navigation links are the elements that have a background image. We’ll set that image to stretch over the height of their container:

.ps-slides > div,
.ps-slidewrapper > nav > a {
 background-color: #fff;
 background-position: center top;
 background-repeat: no-repeat;
 background-size: auto 100%;
}

The next class is used dynamically when we want to slide an element in or out:

.ps-move {
 transition: top 400ms ease-out;
}

Last, but not least, we’ll define a media query for smaller devices. We only want the media query to change the style if we have JavaScript enabled since we have a completely different layout for the case JavaScript is disabled.
We need to set the children of the main container to 100% width:

@media screen and (max-width: 860px) {

 .js .ps-container > div {
  width: 100%;
 }

The header will be a bit smaller:

.js .ps-header {
  height: 50px;
 }

 .js .ps-header h1 {
  line-height: 50px;
  padding: 0px 20px;
  letter-spacing: 4px;
 }

The wrapper for the preview slides will be positioned differently since we’ll place the content under it:

.js .ps-slides {
  bottom: 320px;
  top: 50px;
 }

The navigation will be half its original height:

.js .ps-slidewrapper > nav {
  height: 100px;
 }

The content wrapper will have a height of 220px and we’ll place it right above the navigation:

.js .ps-contentwrapper {
  top: auto;
  height: 220px;
  bottom: 100px;
 }

Let’s change the sizes of the typographic elements:

.js .ps-content {
  padding: 10px;
 }

 .js .ps-content h2 {
  border-right: none;
  font-size: 18px;
  margin: 10px 0;
  padding-top: 0;
 }

 .js .ps-content span.ps-price {
  font-size: 18px;
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  line-height: 50px;
  font-weight: 700;
  margin-bottom: 0;
 }

We don’t have so much space, so let’s set a fixed height for the paragraph and make it scrollable:

.js .ps-content p {
  line-height: 20px;
  border: none;
  padding: 5px 10px;
  height: 80px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
 }

The link will be a bit smaller and positioned to fit better into its context:

.js .ps-content a:last-child {
  font-size: 13px;
  margin: 10px 20px 0 0;
 }
}

And that’s all the style! Now, let’s take a look at the JavaScript

The JavaScript

We will start by caching some elements and define some variables:

var $container = $( '#ps-container' ),
 $contentwrapper = $container.children( 'div.ps-contentwrapper' ),
 // the items (description elements for the slides/products)
 $items = $contentwrapper.children( 'div.ps-content' ),
 itemsCount = $items.length,
 $slidewrapper = $container.children( 'div.ps-slidewrapper' ),
 // the slides (product images)
 $slidescontainer = $slidewrapper.find( 'div.ps-slides' ),
 $slides = $slidescontainer.children( 'div' ),
 // navigation arrows
 $navprev = $slidewrapper.find( 'nav > a.ps-prev' ),
 $navnext = $slidewrapper.find( 'nav > a.ps-next' ),
 // current index for items and slides
 current = 0,
 // checks if the transition is in progress
 isAnimating = false,
 // support for CSS transitions
 support = Modernizr.csstransitions// transition end event
 // transition end event
 // https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/issues/2870
 transEndEventNames = {
  'WebkitTransition' : 'webkitTransitionEnd',
  'MozTransition' : 'transitionend',
  'OTransition' : 'oTransitionEnd',
  'msTransition' : 'MSTransitionEnd',
  'transition' : 'transitionend'
 };

When the init function is called, the first thing to do is to show the first item and corresponding slide/image. Also, we need to update the navigation arrows background image with the right ones, meaning that we will use the same background images as defined for the previews. Finally, the initEvents function is called.

init = function() {

 // show first item
 var $currentItem = $items.eq( current ),
  $currentSlide = $slides.eq( current ),
  initCSS = {
   top : 0,
   zIndex : 999
  };

 $currentItem.css( initCSS );
 $currentSlide.css( initCSS );
 
 // update nav images
 updateNavImages();

 // initialize some events
 initEvents();

},
updateNavImages = function() {

 // updates the background image for the navigation arrows
 var configPrev = ( current > 0 ) ? $slides.eq( current - 1 ).css( 'background-image' ) : $slides.eq( itemsCount - 1 ).css( 'background-image' ),
  configNext = ( current < itemsCount - 1 ) ? $slides.eq( current + 1 ).css( 'background-image' ) : $slides.eq( 0 ).css( 'background-image' );

 $navprev.css( 'background-image', configPrev );
 $navnext.css( 'background-image', configNext );

},
adjustLayout = function() {

 $container.css( 'height', $window.height() );

},

We need to initialize the click event for both navigation elements and the transitionend event for both, items/descriptions and slides.

initEvents = function() {

 $navprev.on( 'click', function( event ) {

  if( !isAnimating ) {
   
   slide( 'prev' );
  
  }
  return false;

 } );

 $navnext.on( 'click', function( event ) {

  if( !isAnimating ) {
   
   slide( 'next' );
  
  }
  return false;

 } );

 // transition end event
 $items.on( transEndEventName, removeTransition );
 $slides.on( transEndEventName, removeTransition );
 
},

The main function is, of course, the slide function. The idea is to position the next item/slide to be shown above or below the current one (depending on which navigation element we click). Then we move the current item/slide out of the wrapper and slide in the new ones. We also keep the navigation elements’ background image updated.

slide = function( dir ) {

 isAnimating = true;

 var $currentItem = $items.eq( current ),
  $currentSlide = $slides.eq( current );

 // update current value
 if( dir === 'next' ) {

  ( current < itemsCount - 1 ) ? ++current : current = 0;

 }
 else if( dir === 'prev' ) {

  ( current > 0 ) ? --current : current = itemsCount - 1;

 }
  // new item that will be shown
 var $newItem = $items.eq( current ),
  // new slide that will be shown
  $newSlide = $slides.eq( current );

 // position the new item up or down the viewport depending on the direction
 $newItem.css( {
  top : ( dir === 'next' ) ? '-100%' : '100%',
  zIndex : 999
 } );
 
 $newSlide.css( {
  top : ( dir === 'next' ) ? '100%' : '-100%',
  zIndex : 999
 } );

 setTimeout( function() {

  // move the current item and slide to the top or bottom depending on the direction 
  $currentItem.addClass( 'ps-move' ).css( {
   top : ( dir === 'next' ) ? '100%' : '-100%',
   zIndex : 1
  } );

  $currentSlide.addClass( 'ps-move' ).css( {
   top : ( dir === 'next' ) ? '-100%' : '100%',
   zIndex : 1
  } );

  // move the new ones to the main viewport
  $newItem.addClass( 'ps-move' ).css( 'top', 0 );
  $newSlide.addClass( 'ps-move' ).css( 'top', 0 );

  // if no CSS transitions set the isAnimating flag to false
  if( !support ) {

   isAnimating = false;

  }

 }, 0 );

 // update nav images
 updateNavImages();

};

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and find it inspiring!

jQuery In Wordpress - 35 Of The Best Plugins To Customize Your Blog

jQuery In Wordpress - 35 Of The Best Plugins To Customize Your Blog: Adding a jQuery plugin to your Wordpress site can be done in two ways, a hard one and an incredibly simple one. The hard way to do it is include the jQuery plugin in header.php. For a web designer or web developer that is a piece of cake, but for a regular user that can be a little difficult. The second way to do it, and the easy one, is to install

Les 1000 chaînes les plus populaires de YouTube (infographie)

Les 1000 chaînes les plus populaires de YouTube (infographie):
OpenSlate a concocté cette infographie qui renseigne sur les 1000 chaînes les plus populaires sur YouTube. Honneur aux plus anciennes puisque dans ce top 1000, on trouve 23 des 100 premières chaînes YouTube.
Un premier chiffre saute immédiatement aux yeux en regardant cette infographie même s’il est placé à la toute fin : 23 000 dollars ! C’est le revenu moyen mensuel que dégagent ces 1000 chaînes. Bien entendu, s’agissant d’une moyenne, il ne donne pas d’information sur les revenus minimum et maximum et donc s’il y a de grandes disparités. Sur un an, il s’établit cependant à 276 000 dollars.
L’occasion également de découvrir qu’ils sont un million sur YouTube à adjoindre de la publicité à leurs vidéos.
Ces 1000 chaînes cumulent 11.3 milliards de visualisations par mois et disposent de 462 millions d’abonnés.
On découvre par ailleurs que ces chaînes ne chaument pas puisque durant les 30 derniers jours, elles ont publié 30 000 vidéos, soit une moyenne d’une par jour et par chaîne.

Elles ne laissent pas non plus de marbre puisque, toujours durant les 30 derniers jours, elles ont généré plus de 87 millions d’interactions sociales sur YouTube (25 millions de commentaires, 7.5 millions de favoris et 55 millions de notes).
Leur impact dépasse largement le cadre de YouTube avec 2.5 milliards de « Like » sur leurs pages Facebook officielles et 624 millions de followers sur Twitter. A titre de comparaison, l’activité engendrée sur les réseaux sociaux est comparable (et même supérieure pour le nombre de followers généré sur Twitter) à celle d’une série très populaire du câble américain (c’est Breaking Bad qui est judicieusement pris comme exemple). Pour information, le compte officiel de Breaking Bad (@BreakingBad_AMC) se rapproche désormais des 180 millions plutôt que de 170 millions comme précisé sur l’infographie.
Comme le note l’infographie, ce rayonnement extra YouTube crée une « boucle d’influence » ou autrement dit un cercle vertueux.
Enfin, sachez que c’est à 45% dans les domaines de la musique et du jeu vidéo qu’on trouve le plus de chaînes YouTube du top 1000.

15 Great Responsive jQuery Slider Plugins

15 Great Responsive jQuery Slider Plugins:

Responsive jQuery slider plugins are great for adding slider effects to responsive websites and templates. As you will see below there are some really good options available.
Lately responsive web design have been one of the most talked about and hot topics and it is easy to understand why. The huge explosion of mobile devices with internet access have made clients ask for mobile versions of their websites. Native mobile apps are however quite costly and dedicated mobile web apps (mobile copies of existing websites) require extra maintenance and cost for delivering the same content. Ethan Marcotte started a snow ball effect with his definition of responsive web design back in May 2010. (you may want to read his article “Responsive Web Design”). Today responsive websites show up everywhere and there are literally tons of building blocks available for creating responsive them faster. One example, besides responsive jQuery sliders, is responsive WordPress themes where you get an entire responsive solution in one package. Many of these themes have responsive sliders integrated already.
In this article you will find some of the best responsive slider scripts available right now. Some are free but there are also great and not too expensive premium options available. Hope you find what you are looking for and that you are going to drop a comment or share the article with your friends and coworkers.
