I’ve decided to start cataloging the sites that I’ve done recently, big or small. So, here we go:
Indian Valley Dental
What the client wanted:
This was a redesign of an existing CMS site that had a lot of Flash-based elements, including the navigation.
What I delivered:
The design kept the header flash from the old site, and I brought over the little Flash page title flourish.
I reworked the existing CMS to provide data is much more search-engine friendly and a lot more streamlined. The header navigation uses a CSS hover effect with a jQuery dropdown. The bottom navigation uses a quick server-side element to generate a style that underlines the page that you’re currently on, and the Contact Us page uses jQuery form validation and an AJAX spam-catcher.
The site is identical in IE 6, 7 and 8, Firefox 3, Chrome 3, Safari 4PB and Opera 10 (aside from a few form elements that resist styling).
Simple from the ground up, but that’s the way I like them.
