Audience

Goals

This site was created to showcase our partnership with the National Park Foundation. We co-sponsored the Share Your Experience photo contest that promoted our cameras. Finalists' photographs were shown in a gallery on the pages.

How it was Done

This project involved transitioning a number of pages from the legacy Olympus America site into a new template. All of these microsites were quickly coded using classic ASP and basic query-string-based dynamic content. Each "page" exists in an ASP sub procedure for quick and easy access to all of the content.

The Flash map and video were provided by our design and production team, while I coded the jQuery lightbox for Photo Contest Finalists. After discovering FancyBox in this project, I used it as the primary lightbox for Olympus. Since then I have fallen in love with prettyPhoto, and swear by it until I see something better.
