Our website goes live!!

We finally have our new website up and live http://www.tpddesign.co.uk/

Its taken a while but we finally re-worked our website from scratch.

Just phase 1 but pleased so far, quite a few tweaks and updates to make over the coming months such as expanded details on projects along with more images, interactive forms, a client area and other design improvements.

It has been so difficult to actually find time to work on our own site, rather than all the ones we earn our living developing, I guess that’s always the case .

All the jQuery effects are hand written e.g. the slider on the menu, the portfolio slider etc by us, no drop in plugins, although we still need to go through and pull them into external minified JS files.

Anyway, a good way to finish the week out.


MVC3 Razor – jQuery – Visual Studio != Intellisense

I wondered where my intellisense had gone for jQuery with MVC3 and Razor. Anyway there is a fix for it:

Add the following to your view (with the jQuery vsdoc version you have:

@if (false) { <script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.0-vsdoc.js" type="text/javascript"></script> }

The if-statement prevents the script tag from being rendered into the html source code.

Grab jQuery 1.5.0 vsdoc from here -> http://damianedwards.com/files/jquery/jquery-1.5-vsdoc.js
