Most of the work we do at Joe's Media is re-sold to clients through design firms. Occasionally, though, we are honored with the opportunty to do work directly for a designer and this is one such example.

There are some subtle but important benefits to this particular piece of code.

• Great Performance - this showcase system does not load any of the hidden images until the rest of the page is done loading. This means the first page load is as fast as can possibly be!
• Easy to Change - the list of images with associated text are stored in a separate file so you won't have to dig through long pages of dense HTML looking for the right list.
• CMS Compatible - The image list could very easily be generated by a content management system meaning it would always be showing the very latest portfolio entries with no extra effort.
