The Project: Caiman Consulting
Purpose: Need for a site originally designed to be published in Flash to be published in XHTML.
Goal: Using existing website content, restructure using CSS and incorporate contemporary SEO theory.
Challenges: There was a strict four (4) week turn around on this project. All the imagery was repurposed, compressed for quick load time and renamed to lend efficiency to the SEO. Original video content was not available at launch so artwork was created for temporary placement. A javascript based gallery was put in place to serve as a way to show case the most current projects. This gallery was to emulate the jukebox effect found in the iTunes interface. A script that could easily be updated was found, allowing the client to change displayed projects without the need to remake a gallery which is customary when publishing in Flash.
Production: Logo creation, image development, hand-coded CSS
Tools: Photoshop, Dreamweaver (for site organization), XHTML, CSS, JavaScript
