Codrops, a web development blog publishing very nice tutorials, has released a set of creative navigation examples built with pure CSS(3).
There are 10 unique examples, all have the same HTML structure but different CSS styles that make use of CSS transitions and animations.
Icons used are from a symbols typeface, so, no images are used in the examples but only HTML, CSS and a custom font file.
They are definitely beautiful "as is" and also a good starting point to create new ones.

Slidorion is a jQuery image slider plugin that functions in parallel with an accordion displaying the related contents for each slide.
There are multiple built-in effects ('fade, slideLeft, overRight, overDown an more..) to be used for transitions.
The slide to be displayed on initial load can be defined and it can be set to autoplay (hover-on-pause exists) or only manual browsing by clicking each accordion tab.
Also, few other options exist for a better customization like the speed of transitions and interval between each slide.

Using transparent images in websites make so much sense in many cases as they fit perfectly to any background.
However, there is sometimes a big empty space around images which can create confusion when clicking on them as users may not easily realize that the clicked part of the website is actually an image.
alphaPun.ch changes that by tracing the opaque part of PNG or GIF images and then punch through the alpha channel so the stuff behind it can be clicked.
Behind the scenes, it creates a mask for the opaque part of images along with masks for the clickable content behind them. The masks are positioned above the real image and users will actually be clicking to these masks.
It works by drag 'n' dropping an image to the loader and an HTML-CSS-JS (with jQuery) code is created automatically.
The project is definitely not a good fit for every image on websites but there will certainly be good cases of use.
P.S. alphaPun.ch is open source.

Foundation is a very impressive and feature-rich framework for quickly prototyping + creating the production code.
The framework is responsive, works smoothly on all major browsers (including mobile) and completely open source.
It has styles for typography, links, lists, forms (with custom radio buttons, select lists and checkboxes), tables and buttons.
There is a 12 column, semi-liquid grid which works with all screen sizes and encourages building a single website for all devices.
Foundation also includes Orbit (for content sliding) and Reveal (for modal dialogs) that both are powered with jQuery.
This is definitely an exciting project for building modern websites easily and it is a good alternative to the recently launched yet popular Twitter Bootstrap.
