Aim had a complete design prepared in a Photoshop document, along with brief guidelines on animated elements for the front page. They wanted a site where they could update content themselves as needed. We decided to use WordPress with a custom built theme. We discussed how we could adapt the existing static design for smaller screens and added this using media queries.

The subtle home page animations were built using progressive enhancement: the more advanced a user’s device, the more enhanced the experience is delivered. Users whose devices are without CSS3 or Javascript see all the content; devices with CSS3 also see the animation; devices with JavaScript enabled also see the show / hide animation.

XHOSA FUNDIS CC is a fully accredited provider offering Xhosa Language Courses to the public (individuals and groups), schools and companies.

Xhosa Fundis were unhappy with their current CMS and wanted to refresh to the look of their site. We helped them move across to WordPress, and custom coded a WordPress Theme that kept the basic flavour of the existing site but added some new features.

The biggest changes we made were:

• a new smaller screen layout using media queries for a better experience on smaller screens (fluid content, flexible images, adjusted navigation);
• added a more friendly feel by adjusting colour scheme and using Proxima Nova Soft served from Naga’s Typekit account;
• content review and improvement of HTML usage, resulting in improved readability and structure;
• used Gravity Forms for an improved “Materials for Sale” page, with items marked up in hproduct microformat;
• adding contact info in the footer of every page, marked up in hcard format.
