Spreading content over multiple pages or have just one big page for main content?

Yes you can use something like a scroll spy, here is a pen of mine with that very thing,

You could always adapt this so on the smaller screens the affix on the right slides in from the side as a pop out menu rather than on my example it just disappears for the sake of the example :)

The above is probably the faster of the two to build and you cant really risk finding a way to use javascript to load page data in case someone has javascript turned off.

Will you be using a framework to build the site like Bootstrap / Foundation?

I have just thought you could do this quite simply with a dropdown from a main navbar, if you wanted me to set up an example on CodePen I could do that for you today ?

Craig

No trouble at all Richard :)

Would you be able to give me a quick example of how the categories would need to be set up for the dropdown.

For example:

<!-- Main Nav Link -->

    <!-- Make -->
    <!-- Make -->
        <!-- Model -->
        <!-- Model -->
        <!-- Model -->
            <!--Spec -->
            <!--Spec -->
    <!-- Make -->

Just so I know how may level deep the ul elements need to go really.

I will set it up on a workspace so you can see the exact code used and files loaded etc. :)

No problem Richard that's fine :)

Hi Richard,

Have a quick look at this it is responsive for all screen sizes. If this is something that would work let me know and I can give you a little more info on how I got there to set you off on your own :)

Craig

Hi Richard,

I had made the pens private thinking if you had the link it would be fine, but I realize now only I could view them ...

It has been made public again and I've got a few changes to make from a little research I did last night :)

Craig

If you get chance Richard here is a new pen with new dropdown styles and functionality.

This works really well on both large and small screens as it goes full width in the nav on mobiles. I will continue to clean up the code and make it more readable :)

Craig

Hi Richard :)

It did get a little bit complex to be truthful, when trying to make the dropdown as user friendly as possible it became anti developer friendly lol.

But as you say it is there for reference in the future if you come to need something of that nature.

You dont have yo do it that way of course you could use a standard hover trigger on some nested lists to :)

If you get stuck with anything dont hesitate to give me a shout!

About 10 months I think I have been using treehouse now Richard, I am just working on my own site to get up and running hopefully doing some freelance work and a little blogging which will be interesting.

In that time on treehouse the main thing I have done so far in a WordPress Plugin here, it was a great learning curve between the plugin itself, the site and getting to know github.

If you have any more questions every feel free to ask :)
