Hooboy, I am finally finished with this behemoth of a website!



Extreme Engineering, manufacturers of rock climbing walls. :)



Overall, I am satisfied with how the project turned out, but man, was it ever a headache to CODE this thing. I am almost positive my CSS-ninjastry points increased by at least 10 on this one. Phew!

That's okay though, my client being ridiculously excited about the whole venture makes it all worthwhile:

"Thanks Kelly. So glad this site is up and going, it looks so freaking cool. I explained to a customer today that our site is "as cool as a man sporting a Member's only jacket with a speedo." It's the only way to explain how wicked our site is...lol. I've never been so excited about a website before."

Yeah. Don't ask. ;) The client is a young man with a strange sense of humor.

Note: Oh god of all that is decent in design, please give these guys enough sense to get rid of that god awful HUGE RED HEADLINE they've added in where then menu is supposed to be! I did not design that element to go there!* ARGH!

My web design work for AdventureHere has been displayed on two prominent web design blogs, and I am as pleased as punch, you guys!

It's deeply satisfying, yet humbling, to know I've worked my way up to a professional level of web design; Yet, I have much to learn and a long way to go as far as sharpening my coding and design skills go. :)

I look forward to it!


Original layout, and here is the website.
