Minimit – Highly Customizable Plugin
JQuery plugins, usually, have limitations in their implementation, but I am lucky to find one, which renders great flexibility that is rarely found.

jqPagination – for Interactive Pagination
Pagination is normally done by using PHP, but now, jQuery enables us to include page controls on the client side instead of making it on the server side.
jqPagination allows creating page menu in a very easy way, so I fully recommend to those looking for something simple to implement and does not need very good knowledge. Moreover, jqPagination also has very simple configuration, which can be very favorite for web designers who want to play with CSS.

PageScroller – for Smooth Page Scrolling
JQuery plugins are always really useful and the best thing we got in last few years is that jQuery allows quick and easy integration that is just great. PageScroller is a good example of that.
PageScroller is used in the websites to enhance their scrolling of pages. This not only makes the navigation smoother but is useful as the user moves quickly and smoothly, which saves his time. Its implementation and customization is a child’s play, which makes it highly recommended.

Meerkat jQuery Plugin
A Meerkat ?
A meerkat is a mongoose in light gray to brown fur with a few dark lines on the back as well as with black ears like the rim of his eyes. It is also the name of the jQuery plugin designed to bring up the pop-up.
With the Meerkat plugin, you can hide elements on all four sides of your website. The content does not scroll with the rest of the page. Its a great way to include additional elements, such as your contact, other menu items or links integrated with social sites.
Making an Interactive Picture with jQuery

You can make an interactive picture having tooltips and popup modals. This will be great if you want to display any specific element of an image. The plugin was created getting inspired by an interactive display of the IKEA website, where they used Flash.
