At the beginning of this month I completed work on another Web site, for the Costa Barber Singers, who provide the Costa Blanca with wonderful barbershop music.
I am really proud of this Web site. I spent a lot of time researching and thinking through the basic issues: what pages there should be, what should be on each page, and how we could make visiting the site an enjoyable and informative experience for a range of distinct kinds of visitor. In particular, I wanted every page to answer the questions: are these people worth booking? and (for singers) is this a group I would enjoy being a member of?
On the visual side, I began—as in my design for the Football Prophets site—with the idea that I wouldn’t frame the content, even though I stuck to my own 960px ‘rule.’ I experimented with a new style for top-of-the-page navigation, plus (on the home page) a really inviting visual jump menu. For more detailed design notes, you can check out my Web design portfolio. You can also visit the Costa Barber Web site itself.
