Chat Tab - Aureus Knights (Web Design)

The upcoming redesign of my guild's website features a redesigned, tab-based navigation experience.

Our chatroom is powered by Chatterous, so I decided to play around with their API a little for integration purposes. The first fruit of this labor is an indicator in the tab identifying how many users are currently in the chatroom.

I have a PHP script running in the backend that makes the API call and caches the result server-side. On the user's end, an AJAX call made with jQuery pulls the cached result from the PHP script and updates the tab's display.
