Ripe Stock Images

Intranet

2005, ripe design

A dynamic (PHP) driven stock images gallery. Ripe design was struggling to source images for jobs, I was given the daunting task of going through all the back-ups and finding images used on past jobs, categorising them, inserting keywords and uploading them.

Users can add and edit images / information inserted into the CMS. The idea was for everyone within the company to have access and to help the companies' stock images portfolio to grow.

BAT

Intranet

2002, Interactive LTD

BAT wanted a futuristic look, with a screen interface for their intranet. The landing page is comprised of funky flash, with sound and mouse-effects.

Front-end development & template design was coded using HTML and Javascript. The buttons have glow effect mouse-overs and content is loaded from selections made from the 'button screens'. The internal links had long URL's with tons of special characters that the flash wasn't picking up, luckily, I found a solution where you can replace special characters with special codes to keep everything working smoothly.

Safmarine

Intranet

2002, Interactive LTD

Designed externally and supplied in a neat .psd. The client just needed some HTML and JavaScript templates for the pages and a concept for the links. The links have a delayed mouse-over as the client wanted to force the users to click on the main link and not go straight to a sub-section. Specifications were nice, Internet Explorer 5.0 and up only on a windows platform. Also features a drop down navigation on the start page.

Intranet

2001, Media24

Naspers is an internal based website (Intranet) for the staff and shareholders of Naspers. Front-end, HTML coded by me with back-end coding using Storyteller by in-house developers, with style assistance from myself.
