Day and Night design feature on LoveGloucesterRoad.org.uk
Lisa, 10th November 2010
This is really quite simple compared to the rest of the coding we do here at 18a Towers, but it's still fun!
If you visit LoveGloucesterRoad.org.uk - a website we've made for free to help promote our local area - then, depending on whether you visit it in the day or at night, you'll get quite a different effect!
The site knows to show a day time background during the day, and a night time background in the evening onwards.
We originally built the site in 2008 for the GRAB campaign (Gloucester Road Alternative Bag) but have since given it a make over for it's 2nd Birthday!
The site also uses the Bing Maps API to plot businesses on a map - we usually work with Google Maps but as this was an inhouse project we thought we'd give Bing a try and were quite pleased with the results!
If you're a business on Gloucester Road, don't forget to stop by and pick up your free listing.
