The National Christmas Tree

My Role

CSS, JavaScript, XHTML

Visit Site

Since The National Park Foundation is one of my company’s clients, I had the pleasure of slicing and implementing the website for the lighting of the National Christmas Tree.

I was able to add in some pretty cool jQuery functionality in various places of the site. On the homepage, I added in some rotating branding images, similar to the ones that I created for the National Park Foundation Leadership Summit website.

I also added the standard share this and send to friend functionality that we have been implementing on a lot of sites recently. Finally, for the display of the Christmas Pathway Of Peace, I used jQuery clone to create a lightbox display and make it easy to see all of the state ornaments.

We also worked with a third party company to do a live webcast of the lighting. In addition, we created a flash game to decorate your own Christmas tree and an interactive timeline. While, I wasn’t really a part of creating that, I did help to give some feedback.
