The website is composed entirely of
images. I tried to recreate any kind of bells and whistles a
Flash site might have, such as animations and rollovers, by using
animated gifs and JavaScript, since I didn't have Flash back then,
let alone be able to afford a licensed version! I went with a
dark, "techie" theme which features a bluish color palette, very
tiny text, and a large cloudy background. Navigation around the
site involved clicking the icons in the left panel. On
mouseover, a description would appear above the icon as shown above.
This also applied to the sub-navigation, which appeared in the
bottom half of the right panel instead.
Although this kind of dark theme might not appeal to everyone, I
figured that since it was my own personal site, I'd designed it to
my tastes. I loved the overall look of the site and still do
till this day. |
