Work for Workthing - Corporate Career Sites
Many of the corporate career sites that Workthing launches are designed in-house as well as being developed in-house. My role with these projects is usually not more than an advisory one, I'm usually asked about the use of CSS on a project, or more recently about the accessibility implications of a site. Also when a project calls for a more advanced method of navigation I am asked to assist, as was the case with how I got involved with the projects below.
Elizabeth Arden
For the Elizabeth Arden project I was asked to implement a navigation system that used a drop down menu system, but also conformed to Priorty 1 of the Web Accessibility Initiative. The script that was used was a list based solution that used a combination of JavaScript and CSS to power the menus.
FDS
I was originally asked to look at this project to help find a navigation solution for the site, but as the requirements of the client shifted, and the designer who did the design falling ill I ended up finalising the code for the site. Much of the code was already in place from the work of the other designer, I just needed to tweak it a bit to allow for the content to fit, and the pages to work with the varying amounts of content.
Portakabin
With the Portakabin site I was asked to implement a navigation system for the site based around what had been supplied to the client in flat graphic concepts as well as finalising the code, and adding the content into the pages.
Sports World
The Sports World site was a pretty special one for me as not only did I code all of the (X)HTML and CSS for the site, but I also designed it. The final design that was chosen from the concepts was based heavily around a recent press campaign. All of the static pages are coded using XHTML and CSS to be table-free, and the dynamic pages are coded with HTML 4.01 with CSS to work with the existing back end technology.
