Original Homepage Design
Website redesign project completed for John McNulty of Fireshark Design.
The original site design was built around an unstructured Flash navigation. The sub navigation at the foot of the screen was lost once the user left the Home page of the site. Inconsistencies occurred in layout with poor image optimization and lack of Photoshop retouching were among many of the issues needing to be addressed.
The new format includes consistent placement of the registration requirements and planning information to the left of the screen. Text heavy areas of the site include inline links for easy navigation back to the top of the page. The media area is segmented into articles and photos that can be easily updated for future archives.
The screen design incorporates existing triathlon photos that emerge from the darkened background with subdued saturation keeping the balance of information and navigation in focus.
