| Client
Brief:
This Bermuda based client is into Hedge fund administration
for large corporate houses like banks and such other financial
institutions. They had a website running when they commissioned
us to design and develop the same from the scratch. They wanted
the website design to be suitable to a financial services
company that presents itself as solid, reputable and conservative
yet very much using technology in its operations. They also
wanted to have most of the areas of the website to be database
driven so that the administrator had full control over the
content. Additionally, we were asked to develop a client presentation
using Flash based on an
existing Power Point presentation. This Flash presentation
was to be linked from the new website.
Our Endeavour:
Based on the initial client brief, we worked through a few
possible design routes to finally arrive at the current one
that has blue as the predominant colour in it. The design
has a main image in it that consists of a collage of the screenshots
of the proprietary software that they use for their core operations.
This design has a small Flash bit embedded in the page emphasising
the working principles of the company. Further we developed
a client presentation using Flash that uses the design parameters
of the website in terms of colour & design aesthetics.
We developed an administrator module that makes use of a Content
Management System (CMS) built into it for extensive modification
of practically all the areas of the website. This includes
the 'News' section, general page content allowing for text
decoration, table creation, image insertion to name a few.
We also integrated a third party FTP based news feed system
to be displayed in the homepage. The technology used in the
project is ASP.net using c# and SQL server as backend. |
