Swami Atmachaithanya is a spiritual leader based in Kerala, South India. As well as travelling extensively, he runs a charity providing education and healthcare services. His organisation required a full CMS-driven website with an event calendar and facility to upload various media including audio and video. We delivered a WordPress-based solution that affords the client considerable flexibility, allowing for multiple authors, and allowing for considerable expansion in the future. The front-end features a flexible-width layout for optimal display across a range of different screen sizes, whilst the layout also gracefully accommdates text-enlargement for better accessibility.]]> http://www.jackfruitdesign.com/portfolio/atmachaithanya http://jackfruitdesign.com/portfolio/atmachaithanya Tue, 11 May 2008 19:40:18 GMT
Chinglish is a bilingual web application that features the best Chinese-English language translation software currently available on the web. In this ongoing redesign project, our first task was to re-work the interaction design for the homepage, giving more immediate access to the translation function that was previously buried in the webmail tool. Visually, the new design has a cleaner look, with a sense of space and simplicity. Working in an agile fashion, the new design will be gradually expanded to include other sections of the site, as the project progresses.]]> http://www.jackfruitdesign.com/portfolio/chinglish http://jackfruitdesign.com/portfolio/chinglish Tue, 25 Sep 2007 19:40:18 GMT
