Off and on for the past few months I’ve been playing around with my main website, NateDillon.com. The result is a new version of the website with an Apple TV-ish design that gave me an opportunity to try out a few things, like inline SVGs, CSS calc(), and transform.
My team recently finished an overhaul of the navigation on our primary product, K-State Connect. Connect serves as a dashboard for Kansas State University, displaying various university services within “widgets”. The main goal of the navigation re-design was to add links directly to each of the widgets within the dashboard. The navigation was also in need of a better small screen experience.
