Launched advancedcardiohv.com
Just launched advancedcardiohv.com a site for a cardiology team serving the Hudson Valley area of New York City. Design was by Kathy Giarrano of giarranodesign.com.
My primary involvement in the site was to “hook up” some some nice dhtml menu functionality using jQuery as well as doing adding a small amount of video and Google Maps “flashy bits”.
What I’m trying to take away from this project is how awesome the jQuery javascript framework is. During the process we decided that some flash and static images could be replaced by simple jQuery functionality.
The rotating blobs of text that appear around the site are filled with cardiovascular keywords. Originally these blobs where bits of images that we replaced with html and text. Now instead of static images these blobs will be spidered by google and hopefully increase the site’s traffic by way of search engine traffic. All it took was a little bit of typing to reproduce the text, < 20 lines of jQuery/CSS to make them fade in and out and we’ve given the site a nice visual touch and increased the chance the doctor’s could gain a customer from it.
