There was also another website…

golden.lv website

www.golden.lv

It was one of my first clients when I started freelancing about 7 years ago. No surprise by now the website needed a redesign (yes, it was built with tables), what I was asked to do few months ago.

I wanted to create something very special, to stand out from competitor websites, and also to try myself in a quite unusual for myself, illustrative style. I went for bright colors, playful feel and used jQuery to add some animation to make website more fun.

To be perfectly honest, I think, I was too ambitions. I was working on really tight budget and realized that it ran out in the middle of the project. And I still had to deliver two more languages… It was a bit of a gamble from my side, but I really wanted to design something beyond client’s initial brief and expectations.

In the end I still had to cut down on few ideas to be able to implement all languages and fully working CMS. So don’t judge me too harsh. Also, hopefully website owner will not forget to keep it updated, with 3 languages it can get messy…

Just like with the other website that was launched around the same time, I made use of CSS3 properties to give an extra touch to the website, so view it in a modern browser (not Internet Explorer 8 or lower) to get the best experience.
