SouthsideClinic.com Website

The site itself has a few interesting design and coding features that are worth mentioning. The header uses typography and is an appropriation of another designer's phone ad and reformatted and prepared for website viewing. The Logo also is "mechanical", that is it responds to the user mousing over it, for a fun interactive element.

Designwise, the site relies primarily on typography and a clean white background. The emphasis is on a minimalist approach to keep the information clear and readable for clients of all ages and, of course all screen resolutions. This imposes certain design limitations and cretive constraints. You want people with screen readers or old systems to be able to get the information they need from the site.

Another interesting attribute involves randomly generated images of animals, to keep the content fresh as the user navigates the site. The animals features throughout are pulled randomly form a folder. Certain considerations, sucha s the directino the animal faces were taken into account for generative animal placement.

From a coding perspective, one interesting elemnt involved a customized editable FAQ. The FAQ page has a component that looks at a customized treeview that looks at an XML file. The user sees the final product, but the business is allowed to edit this file through a hidden password protected webpage that edits and saves the XML file in the correct format.Like th site, the FAQ editor sports a minimalist interface - it never shows you more than you need. It was programmed entirely in C# with the XML classes in the .Net framework.
