Recently, I have been doing a lot of Web design and development work “behind the scenes.” There hasn’t been much that I could share with readers of this blog. But around Christmas I did create a Web site that you may like to glance at—and I have finally found the time to add it to my Web design portfolio.
Actually, I have mentioned this site before, when it was just a one-page Web site. It’s a property site, but for a single property. Liz, the owner, is keen to sell her villa fast. She has called on the services of a few estate agents, but also wants to see if she can manage a private sale.
She had dozens of photos I could use, and I took another fifty or so myself.
For colours I very quickly hit on black, to offset the photos. I also used some pastel colours to highlight and distinguish information for 2 different kinds of buyer—those looking for a villa for themselves, and those looking to rent. For the final effect, you can have a look for yourself.
Of course, if you look at my portfolio, you will see I have pinched one effect that I used before: an orange gradient that remains fixed in the viewport. (But it is is a different shade of orange!)
