One of the beauties of Umbraco is that (if you don't install a starter kit) it gives you nothing out of the box. This means you are 100% in control of your CSS/HTML/JavaScript output. What you put in is what comes out and there is nothing to shoe-horn you into a certain way of templating or building that will affect the outcome of your site.
I've had a brief scan of that website and I think they're using the jQuery Easy Slider plug-in to do most of the transitions - so that's a good place to start in terms of replicating similar functionality.
Personally I'd treat this project as two distinct parts: Firstly, build the basic website templates in HTML/CSS and get the transitions and navigation working etc. Then secondly, when the site templates are complete and working, try moving all of this into Umbraco - this is when the guys on this forum will come in very useful. I'd also recommend subscribing to Umbraco.tv to get your head around the Umbraco terminology once you get to this point.
Good luck with it, and I hope this points you in the right direction.
Umbraco + Horizontal & Vertical Navigation
I new to the Umbraco, but I daily work with asp.net and c#.
I'm supposed to create a site it similar to this:
http://www.deuxhuithuit.com/en/
This site has keyboard and mouse support, it's based on a single page that has various panels.
Do you know more websites having this type of navigation?
How could I create something similar using Umbraco?
(I'm asking a lot, I know, but if you can provide any ideas and some resources I can look into.. it would be awesome and so much appreciated :)
