A breath of fresh air… Aug 03. 042

After months of ‘trying’ to find the time we eventually ‘made’ the time here at Mirashade to re-vamp our site.

mirashade, a breath of fresh air.

The initial designs were penned by Chris. I did some design development and then developed the XHTML and CSS using Homesite and TopStyle. Finally the site was deployed using Textpattern. We simply ran out of time to impliment our bespoke solution (Gubbins).

I’d love to hear your feedback and comments on any aspect of the design and implimentation. There are still some areas that need work, but we were keen to get the site ‘out there’.

Update: Mirashade.com is now featured in the CSS Vault and at CSS Beauty and Unmatched Style.

i like it! very clean, fast to load and enough variety to be interesting. I really like the looping video banner in ‘our work’.

Thanks Felix. The looping video in ‘our work’ was hard to get right in terms of ‘loading time’.

It’s pretty hefty, but it loops on a number of ‘edits’ while it continues to load, as you wait longer the sequence extends further and further until loading is complete. A trick we stole from the BMW 5 series site.
