This was a website build with very little in the way of specification or design; club owners Paul and Shelley don't have a technical background, so they asked me to design something which I thought would suit their needs. After a chat over a cup of tea to work out what materiel if any they already had - which turned up the club's logos and a stack of photos - we agreed that I would design a set of wireframes for a simple website which listed the club's activities, how to join, showed some photo galleries, provided a contact form, and linked to the club's Facebook page.
I used Balsamiq Mockups to draft the layout for a long scroller page, with each item of content sized to fit approximately 80% of the viewport on desktop browsers, so that visitors are encouraged to scroll down the page to discover more content, while in mobile-sized viewports, the content collapses to occupy less space, reducing the need to scroll unneccessarily.
With approval from Paul and Shelley for the wireframes, I then used Drupal 7 with the Zurb Foundation theme as a basis, creating content types for the homepage, galleries, a contact page, and regular content pages. The homepage template saw the most work as it rolled a custom content type - with uploader fields for large photos - together with some custom templates in the theme layer.
The feedback from Paul and Shelley was very positive, which is great news. :o)
