Technology and Add-On Features

Drop-down navigation menu
Flash photo slideshows

Summary

I started with the bank's blue color theme and logo then added textures and overlays to dress it up a bit. Converted all links into an organized drop-down menu with rollover graphics.

Developed a News box on the front page which scrolls their latest announcements and hot-links to areas of interest. This can be quickly updated just by changing text.

I used cleaner fonts that are easier on the eyes and did away with the constant pop-ups. Separated the navigation into two sections: areas of interest to the customer, and areas required by the bank.

Developed enhanced disclaimers that improved upon the ones they were using which lacked the ability to decline accepting the disclaimer.

Finally, I created a Flash-based slideshow template that professionally displays numerous for-sale property pictures and is quickly updateable by simply changing text.
