The Grid Site

Grid Site Home

We did a facelift of the site in 2004, producing the Grid Site. It still contained much the same content and navigational structure as its predecessor.

The Ladder Site (circa 2000)

The Ladder Site aimed to tie all corporate information together, from a visual perspective. The photograph with the ladder and the cornfield was used not only on the web site, but also on our corporate print literature used for customers and prospective employees. The corporate colors of red and blue, used since the creation of our logo, were also tied into the look and feel of this site.

Functionality of the site was enhanced with XML – drop down menus, expandable links and other features were introduced to improve the user experience. Site maintenance was improved by using Cascading style sheets.

The Tech Site (circa 1999)

The design site made a huge leap into the world of graphics intensive web sites. With the help of a graphic designer, unique banners were created for each section of the site, making each section of the site distinctive. In addition, this site had more images on all pages.

This site design enabled Internet Explorer users and Netscape users to view the same site.

The Questions Site (circa 1998)

The questions site was born as the company was growing and providing more services. So naturally we wanted to provide answers and solutions to help companies solve their business problems. What better way than to ask a question and provide the answers.

This site design also began the use of Dynamic HTML and Style Sheets for ease of maintenance. Because of this new technology, we used the "sniff out the browser" trick to accommodate different versions of browsers, directing browsers that didn't support these technologies to a lite version of our site.

The Purple Site (circa 1st half 1997)

The Purple Site was created using Microsoft FrontPage and Image Composer, this site had image map links as well as a nifty midi also composed by one of our consultants.

The Windows 95 Site (circa 2nd half 1997)

The origin of this site can be traced back to a consultant lunch meeting at the Taco Bell in Van Ness (now defunct). Created in time for the Microsoft Solution Provider Open house, it was to be the first of many innovative Infostrat Web Sites.
