Process :
The basic idea here was to make an easy to access website with the theme of mats. The layout itself was pretty simple, but it took a while to organize and come up with. I first took some squares, applied a pattern (from default Adobe) to it, and then changed around colors while rotating them. This provided me for the basic images to use. Then, I left an empty space for a FLASH animation that I would add later, but this didn’t really go through because my FLASH program started giving me problems. The layout itself was pretty simple though. It was hard to transfer all of the old site things though, since I was required to re-code everything up into the system.

Description :
A basic business website with mats on the cover. Nice background with some contrast, but basically the idea was to make a professional solid layout with easy-to-understand navigation.
