Fonts and Javascript

Fonts

WPC forgoes using @font-face and cufon fonts, and instead uses beautiful, legible fonts which then fall back on safe fonts which offer similar look and feel similar to the originals.

What’s great about this is that you can use plugins to change the fonts, and keep the customization layer separate from the template layer, allowing for safer updates in the future.

Javascript

WPC uses minimal Javascript, keeping a consistent feel across all browsers and limiting errors for browsers with Javascript turned off. Any Javascript that is used has fall back functionality of course.

Two plugins: Innerfade (with added controls) and easySlider have been used.

Attributes
