html

The main site of www.lamia.nl was based on Drupal, but hadn't been updated for a long time. When I started thinking of a redesign, I realized that a full Drupal site wasn't necessary for what is in principle a brochure site. So I decided to remake the site as a static page, old fashioned, hand coded html,css and javascript.

I still wanted to have some interaction on it, so I decided to have the content areas dynamically updated in a tabbed main view. I also wanted to make the links to our websites a bit more interesting.

Sometimes it is nice to give your visitors an idea of where your external links will take them. To make this visually attractive, a nice device is a small popup window with a screenshot of the remote site and a short description. You can see how this works on the left hand side under 'Our other sites'. When you hover over the links, you get a floating popup showing you where you will be linked to.
