Random Work: Country Comfort Homes

Having left the Journal about 2 months ago, my first project at Frogman Interactive was quite challenging and enriching. Pete Pyles, a hybrid-log home constructor, was in need of a new website to display his innovative and first-class products. Because of the nature of his business, we went with a warm, wood-textured look and feel and “handcrafted” details. The website features an armada of dynamic content ranging from video players to AJAX-driven modules to display Pete’s homes.

The website features:

Flowplayer playlists to showcase videos of Pete’s process and client’s testimonials
Complex AJAX-driven modules to display floorplans renderings, 360° Interactive Tours and Zooming options
Colorbox
A fully collapsable and expandable jQuery accordion to illustrate Pete’s construction process
CSS Browser Selector: a small script allowing to write specific CSS for different operating systems and browsers
A Twitter module used as a “Latest News” section

Random Work: Bernardin’s Fine Dining

Following the success of the Bleu’s website, Freddy Lee decided to revamp the website of his other renowned Winston-Salem restaurant: Bernardin’s. Following the same trend as Bleu’s, this new website had to be built entirely in Flash.

The use of Flash allowed me to have a constant slideshow running in the background. The photos helped introduce the hip atmosphere of the restaurant and a few gastronomic specialties straight from the menu.

The content is displayed on top of the slideshow in a semi-transparent sliding box. Each time a user selects an item from the navigation, the box slides from left to right (or vice versa) and displays the appropriate content.

The website also features a music track that can easily be toggled on and off and a Flash/PHP based contact form.
