Intro page production- trials and errors

To get things started I first went on with trying to achieve the planned out design of the cover page, which was to have slide-able buttons in the main events page.

I first tried to use Indesign I placed several buttons and was able to navigate through them according to different groups (months), but there was no way of achieving the sort of animations that I had in mind, or a smooth sliding in/out effect as it only worked by clicking a button and hide/show the different grouped buttons

I started with trying to purely achieve that using dream weaver as the software and tried to group the buttons in a <div> and use the same code that would be used to achieve a picture slideshow and try to tweak it to make a buttons slideshow, but it failed.

Next choice of software was muse and I tried to use the same technique, to try to achieve the slide-able buttons, by trying to create a buttons slideshow, but it did not work out as well.

and so my last option as a program was edge which and so I went to find a tutorial or a way of achieving at least 70% of the vision I had in mind of the opening page.
