Build a website from scratch w/ Foundation 6 + Total CMS 3

This week I built a website for a group that I run. I thought it would be fun to go through the entire process from scratch. We will go from concept to finished website. This will be a long live stream! I will go until the site is done or until I cannot talk anymore. We will start by building the mock-up in F6. If you are new to Foundation 6, this video will be great for you to see how a new site is built. We will then start to integrate Total CMS 3 so that we can manage the content effectively. This should be a really fun layout. Go get some popcorn and enjoy!

Stacks Project Version Control and Backup

On the hangout on Friday, fellow weaver Sean had some questions about good workflows for managing Stacks project files. I thought that using git version control was a good workflow for managing projects. It also can be a perfect way of backing up your projects as well. So today we will be reviewing the benefits of using GitHub to version control your project files.

Web Notification Badges - Call to Actions

Today I thought I would build out a notification badge that a user wanted on the community. We will be using Foundation 6 to design the notification badge and then use the Call to Action stack to control when it's displayed  to the end user. This could be a great way to get user's attention and get them to interact with your site.

New Video Pro Stack - The Ultimate Video Player featuring CTAs

I have been working on a new video stack secretly, and I'm thrilled to show it to you today. What makes this different from the other 10 or so video stacks? If you want a serious video player, you will want to check out Video Pro. While there are many unique features to this stack, the top feature is no doubt it's ability to launch CTA directly in the video player.
