Since we began to post in this blog, we have been offering components and techniques to develop a site using Ajax. Today we are going to put everything together and we see how to get results that some time age was only possible using Flash.

The study case is Monperla, an online shop that sells pearl jewelry, now we only going to see the main corporate web since the new store is still under development.

If you have read this blog before you will note that the main aspect on this web is our e24Squares Ajax gallery component. This effect have been integrated in a way that each page is related to one image on the gallery and then when you load a new page the related image loads trough the e24Squares effect.

As you see each page loads asynchronically appearing with a fade effect. One important thing on this site is that we have take care of it to degrade gracefully when javascript is disable, then it going to be indexed by the search engines correctly. To accomplish that we have use the techniques explained in the post where we commented about the onDomReady event.

As we have remarked on previous posts, the ajax web sites use to have problems with the back button, then we have used the protoHistoryManager component released some days ago.

This site has other traditional Ajax effects like lighboxes, image rollovers, Font size increaser for accessibility, etc.

I hope this help to all of you that asked for practical examples of our components and tricks. Be free to notify me if you found any problem on the web site and let me know the browser version.
