bluewater communications site launched!

I was designer and developer for www.blueh20group.com. (actually it’s been live for a while but I was so busy I forgot to brag.)

I built the site using HTML and CSS, and one flash animation on the home page. This flash piece required a bit of actionscript to set the timer function and to fade out each frame before going to the next, even when clicking through in non-sequential order.

One snag I ran into: I wanted to use a serif font (times new roman) on several elements of the page, including the menu. For some reason though, in html this font renders differently than it does in photoshop, at least on a mac. What’s going on here? is there another serif font i should be using?

Anyway, thanks to bluewater communications group for being awesome clients! I’m very happy with the final result. I hope you like it :)
