WEBDESIGN

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”

- Hans Hofmann


The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website’s content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together.

This project’s challenge was its need to present enough content chunks without overloading visitors with too much information.

The concept and wireframes were created by the lead designer.

Transforming the designer’s wireframes into webpages required intuition and strong design skills.

Layout and color selection were chosen carefully to remain in lock-step with the designer’s vision.

A website must grow as client and customer’s needs change.

It was a challenge to design new website features, while maintaining the existing look and feel.

Applying a deep understanding of the current and aspirational user experience needs to the design process, lead to a successful project.

WEBDEVELOPMENT

“If you think math is hard, try web design.”

― - Trish Parr


The website’s first incarnation was good, but the client wanted amazing.

Among many site changes, it was transformed from a multi to a single page site.

Additionally, a jQuery plug-in was developed for the project to highlight the menu item corresponding to each section visitors scroll to.

The client’s design brief stated that the landing page had to be cool, minimum and communicate the Clean Cuts and Cerebral Lounge combined brand.

The resulting landing page is clean and responsive. A Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) was used so the hyperlinks would scale along with their respective images.
