Portfolio Of Work

  • TNT Business Solutions

    Working with the Information Architect, we wireframed and created a clickable prototype in Axure before developing the interface. This gave the client greater understanding of the functionality and information flow. With the user base primarily coming from a large business background the functionality had to work the same in IE6 as it did in the latest version of Firefox.

    We had to supply the interface of this site to the client, who was building the backend in-house. In a phased release, we had to collaborate closely with the clients developers to agree deliverables and produce documentation to help with implementation. A CSS grid system was utilised to make the build more efficient.
