we are looking to place a semi-transparent welcome image on a clients WordPress main index page, exactly like this http://www.editionsof100.com/.
I suspect this has been created using Jquery, would be possible to create something similar by adding to the CSS or index.php on WP?
This is quite simple, but pointless IMHO:
Create a div wherever you want the image located:
Then you just use
.fadeOut()
on the element. Standard & simple jQueryReferences:
Have you tried using rgba values?
Example:
div { background: rgba(200, 54, 54, 0.5); }
If you need some animations, check out this cool css library which it is very easy to use.
