Ghostlab takes spirited approach to web testing

Ghostlab is a tool built by Swiss company Vanamco designed to help synchronise testing for web and mobile across multiple devices. It’s different from other testing tools in that you can synchronise more than just a page refresh over different devices.

Any JavaScript-enabled client can instantly connect to Ghostlab, with no setup required. Ghostlab keeps in touch with them to let them know of any changes that are relevant to them - be it after a few seconds, or after a few days.

Responsive design

“We chose a responsive design for Ghostlab because the website is a gateway to a product that advocates testing for cross-browser usability and designing for the mobile web,” explains Vanamco developer Andrew Dysart.

The design makes use of the best available space depending on the size of the destination viewport. On larger displays, the app icon appears adjacent to the title, download links and demo video on the left-hand side. On a smaller screen, the app icon appears above this text. This is achieved by making use of floats and widths to choreograph different layouts.

The Creative Bloq team is made up of a group of art and design enthusiasts, and has changed and evolved since Creative Bloq began back in 2012. The current website team consists of eight full-time members of staff: Editor Georgia Coggan, Deputy Editor Rosie Hilder, Ecommerce Editor Beren Neale, Senior News Editor Daniel Piper, Editor, Digital Art and 3D Ian Dean, Tech Reviews Editor Erlingur Einarsson, Ecommerce Writer Beth Nicholls and Staff Writer Natalie Fear, as well as a roster of freelancers from around the world. The ImagineFX magazine team also pitch in, ensuring that content from leading digital art publication ImagineFX is represented on Creative Bloq.
