This is a Wordpress site for Harrogate based Face Group using Isotope, David DeSandro’s jQuery extension. The template produced handles portfolio items in a grid system which allows entries to be formatted to up to ten columns and rows, although they’ve decided to standardise the look by keeping each entry the same on the main home page.
The system works by passing the filter data attribute across in a cookie which is created and destroyed via Javascript as the user moves between the main portfolio page and the other pages on the site.
