Lost and Found
The Lost and Found website was built by myself (David Slack) and designed by Arm & Eye.
The site was created to promote a bar and restaurant in Birmingham called The Lost & Found and heavily features a character called Professor Hettie G. Watson who is the unofficial mascot of the Bar.
I started with Drupal 7 to create the CMS and used the blocks system for most of the content. The Theme created from the design uses bespoke CSS3 and jQuery to design the site and make it work. I've also used colorBox to create the "popups" and styles these to fit in with the site.
The site also features media query in the CSS to make the site mobile and tablet PC friendly. This site is also completed completely in HTML5 so uses the shiv to make the new HTML5 sections work in older browsers.
There are also a few nice touches using flash around the site just to bring it to life, for example the butterflies wings flutter and a gentleman raises his hat. This animation was created from the Arm & Eye design by Tadporn of Fish Eyes design.
All in all the design is beautiful and user friendly all in one, I think it's my favorite of 2012.
