Size: templates for the 150-page site

My professional status: employee at Origin Design

Website client: Thonet

Dates: March - May 2003

Brief: to develop and build a series of Flash animations for the homepage and build the HTML templates for the redesigned Thonet site.

My responsibilities included:

  • Creating a series of Flash animations which would fit seamlessly into the Thonet homepage which I also built
  • Building the HTML templates for the redesigned Thonet site - architecture, HTML, graphics, JavaScript, CSS
  • Liaison with the programmer who was putting the site together, ensuring that the fairly complex design would function as required once programmed.

Origin redesigned Thonet's website in 2003. I enjoyed building the HTML template pages for the programmer, as the design was quite complex with many rollovers and clever graphics. The finished site had a large products section, and it was important that my HTML templates could be easily integrated into this.
