Design

Full screen background imagery fills every page with the magic and mystery of the wonderful historical venues while various sliders, popups and hover effects create a fun and interactive user experience. I love the earthy colours and tried to bring a feeling of hidden corridors, shadows and depth to each page by using transparent overlays. A big fat heading font sign posts the readers way around the site.
