Internet is the most important scientific and technological discovery since mankind conquered the Moon in 1969. No discovery over the last years had such a great influence on our civilization. Since the 90’s a new step in human evolution was written, the new “Homo digitalis” makes room for a new era, driven by technological and scientific development, filling it furthermore with an essence of life.
All the main discoveries in the post Internet period were helped by it due to its capability of showing everyone, everything at anytime. For instance, the human genome was decrypted more easily and faster because of the possibility of changing information almost instantly between scientists situated all over the world.

In April Google officially announced they were integrating loading time into their algorithm. As they put it, “speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there.”
There are plenty of reasons a website could slow down such as large images, too many Flash files, video the list can go on and on. With that being said, there are plenty of tools and tactics to use to improve loading time for your clients webpage.
In this post, we are going to create a simple dropdown menu with the help of jQuery, take a look at the demo of it first. I assume you know at least the basics of jQuery and CSS. The key to creating the dropdown menu is to use the CSS's properties: position, top, left, z-index.
With these properties, we make sure that dropdown menu appears exactly below the hovered link and over any other element. We then make sure that when mouse is over a link, we show the corresponding dropdown menu and when mouse is away, we hide it back. For these events, we use the jQuery's mouseenter and mouseleave methods. So that's all we need to know to create the dropdown menu, pretty simple stuff !

“Human beings, by change renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise they harden.” And, there is no doubt to it. They try and find something or the other to refresh themselves.
Once someone said, “Art is the river that runs through my life. I drink from it as often as I can do it to refresh myself.” Similar is the case with the redesigning of the website. Most of the designers love to jump if they get a chance to reconsider and redesign their work. But who says that redesigning is not a daunting task? Why is it not something like churning a magic wand?
