Description: Designing and producing web sites since 1999, this is the online portfolio of Willa Madden. Most of the sites referenced below were built solely by me from the ground up.

This site was created for a Berkeley artist whose former site was static HTML. As we began the process to come up with a solution, he was clear that he did not want to take on the user responsibilities of a CMS.
This client's need for a web site revolves around displaying the entirety of his portfolio, along with the messages attached to the art. I needed to create a solution that would not overwhelm visitors for the user experience, user interface and site performance. We worked together to come up with a modification to his navigation categories. From there I created a design, and gathered libraries and tools from around the Internet to bring his goals to reality.
The web site solution I delivered includes unobtrusive Javascript from Christian Heilmann's DOMtab; a jQuery tool called Sequence from Ian Lunn ; as well as the lovely polyfills PIE and HTML5shiv to make sure the site works in all browsers. In addition, I created many media queries to deliver the site across all devices.
