CSS, JavaScript, sIFR, XHTML

Visit Site

Our company website was well overdue for a redesign. Finally, we forced ourselves to make some time and just do it. After a long strategy and information architecture process, we finalized a design, and I was able to get to work.

My role was to slice and implement the entire site, with some programmer assistance on the CMS integration. I used the Dean Edwards’ IE7 scripts for PNG support in IE6, sIFR for some headings and quotes, and a lot of jQuery.

I did some cool things with jQuery on the calendar of events, and on the portfolio. Try filtering the portfolio pieces and then clicking on one of the thumbnails. The modal window is a very modified version of Facebox.

The site also features the standard send to friend and share this features that I have created for other sites.

There are also some other cool little things at various places around the site like the images on the culture page and reCAPTCHA on the contact form. The site is not huge, so I would say it is well worth clicking around for a bit.
