Web Development: Ginko Media

Ginko Media wanted to create an informational website to educate and market their innovative multimedia messaging application to multiple markets. In addition to strengthening their brand, they also wanted to showcase examples of how the prodcuct could work with different applications. The criteria that was requested and delivered involved:

An eye-catching home page that could display video in a light-box style pop-up window.
A front-end design that could be used with the Ruby on Rails architecture in the back-end.
Templated inner pages for dynamic content using Ruby on Rails.
An intuitive footer that allowed access to all the important areas of the site

All this and more was accomplished. I started with a 960 grid layout and added open-source and custom jQuery plugins for the interactivity. The lightboxes were accomplished using prettyPhoto, which is a jQuery lightbox clone, as it supported multimedia such as video and flash.

Chris brought a sophisticated and modern design element to our website which we needed...We really feel like he took our site to the next level for clients and prospects.

The Examples page and the Stock Template page both have a folio filter, created using jQuery, that allows you to dynamically change the visible content of the page based on specific "keywords".

Other highlights include a dynamic ticker that links to different pages within the site, softly degrading rollovers on all the lightbox images, and clean, CSS, fully formatted forms for the signup, free trial and contact pages. The editor product was not finished as of completion of this product, so many elements are commented out until the 2nd phase rollout, which is coming in early October. The only difference I had on design with the client was the insistence on using the logo's green as the splash page headline rather than white.
