Ski & Tennis Station

Once in a while, a client gives you “Carte Blanche” to design anything you want for their website. Doug at Ski & Tennis Station in Winston-Salem was that man. Doug had 2 websites: Ski & Tennis Station, a store focused on ski and tennis equipment, and The Board Room, a secondary store focused on Snowboard and Skateboard equipment. Both sites were about 5 to 6 year-old and needed a face-lift to attract the young crowd being the majority of his customers.

Both websites used to be quite different in content and style. As a matter of fact, someone visiting Ski & Tennis Station would have no idea that The Board Room belonged to the same owner and was right next door. They are now similar in look and feel and visitors can jump from one site to another from any page. The website features:

• An AJAX based tabbed-carousel on the frontpage
• A Twitter status box and links to 2 Facebook groups
• A simple jQuery dropdown menu

Click here to visit Ski & Tennis Station the way I intended it to be. Because I am no longer in charge of this website, the live version has suffered recent “unaesthetic revisions”. Therefore, I can no longer link to it.

Note: I am no longer in charge of updating and fixing these websites.
