Layout Ideas
Using what I had already researched for the previous version
of the Euphorion/DataMain website about common navigational
categores and their names as well as what I knew had to be
changed, I created a number of different layouts in PhotoShop.
The layouts were shown to marketing and management, fine
tuned, and eventually one was selected to be the next
incarnation of the corporate website.
Below are the layouts that were not selected. Click on them to see a larger-view pop-up of the layout. The layout to the right was selected; it too has a larger-view pop-up.
Web Site
This is the implementation of the above chosen layout
into an HTML web site. I saved web-optimized versions
of all the images in the chosen layout (including
mouse-over effect images) and then used those images to
create a first and second level page template (including
server-side include files). The templates were then
used to convert all the information on the old website
to the new layout and architecture. New information
was also added to the new site.
This is the state of this version of the website just before the next version of the website was rolled out. Try it out!
