L37 Homes: Front-end development

Brief

Build a custom front-end for Deepend Digital as part of a rebuild of L37 homes website.

Context

I was doing some freelance for Deepend Digital in Richmond back in 2012 and one of the projects I assisted their dev team with was the L37 homes refresh. This was a purely front-end job.

Solution

Back in 2012, front-end was still a bit clunky compared to the tools and options we have today. At the time this was built using pure HTML and CSS along with a very heavy amount of jQuery for any frontend user interactivity.

Looking at some of the code now, I can see that I used:

  • Fancybox
  • A lot of jQuery .animate()
  • Google Maps integration
  • Suckerfish for the mega dropdown
