Loomis Sayles & Company, Ltd.
September 2000 - December 2000
Loomis
Sayles, a large, mutual fund company in Boston, commissioned my firm
to build a new site for them in the fall of 2000. The site was designed
to be a rather routine, corporate site, with the addition of a large
amount of mutual fund data for potential and continuing customers.
Skills, Technologies, Etc.
HTML, ASP, Javascript, XML, XSLT
My Role:
Information Architect, Designer, Lead Flash Developer
Results:
Initial consulting work, as well as some preliminary Information Architecture had already been done when I became involved, but I was required to help flesh out much of this prior to build-out.
My primary involvement was in the actual production of the site. For most of the site, I produced HTML templates that another developer would use to build ASP pages, allowing connectivity with the database.
Most of the design work I did involved content layout. This site had a lot of non-standard content elements - primrarily data tables. I was responsible for developing standard treatments for different types of content and applying them where necessary.
It should be noted that the general graphic design (homepage / subpage) was produced by a third-party design firm that the client contracted, based on their previous involvement with print materials. I point this out because I still feel that the general look and feel of the site is fairly unattractive, and wish it to be known that there was nothing that I or our team could do about it.
