Among the early adopters of the "one-pager" format, this old project brings back memories of design styles as fashionable as hairstyles trendy two seasons past.
Nevertheless, some elements were timeless. We had the awesome copywriting for the salon's identity, the "neon light ambient" effect emulated through mouse hover effects on important web elements such as Menu Items and hyperlinks, and we had sortable "isometric" portfolio pictures based on "javascript".
One notable challenge we had was the CSS implementation of a mouse-hover see-through image sequence that fades-away upon mouse hover to reveal another see-through design. The attachment that you see shows the copywriting identity as a result of the mouse hover. The "default" image showed a see-through logo on the merchant's brand.
Other design details included the use of the uniquely beautiful font called "Bellerose" - a suiting style for a merchant that prided itself in making its customers beautiful in turn. The website also powered a dynamic reservation module that helped manage online customer bookings.
During development, we put a funky "under construction" notice that shows web visitors updated social feeds dynamically retrieved from the merchant's FaceBook postings.
The completed website and the "under construction" notice is media responsive. Of recent, we had the honour of doing onsite photography of the merchant's new crew, post-processed the images, and gifted the artwork to the merchant for their perusal. As of the date of this post, their new website is still under development.
