Over the past few months, I’ve been working with Kelsey Schnell on putting together a personal website for him. After a lot of collaboration, I’m happy to say the site has launched.

This is by far one of the coolest sites I’ve put together. Firstly, all of the photography was shot by me at my apartment (we borrowed some studio lighting from the FSU Printing Department). There are several pictures of Kelsey to add a “get-to-know-better” feel to the site. Throughout you can see examples of this, such as the bottom of the About Me page:

On the contact page, you can see Kelsey awaiting your message as you start to contact him:

To make the site more interactive, I’ve put together a neat Javascript menu. As you hover over all of the main navigation icons on the top, they grow and display where they’ll take you. As you move out from the icon, they shrink back down. Head over to the site to try it out.

The main content of the site is also styled really well, fitting nicely into the top navigation; this also helps maintain readability, as columns of text are not too long and don’t strain the eyes.

And last, but definitely not least, is the footer of the site. It states the usual copyright message, but it also helps keep visitors on the site by showing recent content and comments, and also allows visitors to share the site with friends.

Overall, I think this is an excellent site, not only in design, but in content as well. Be sure to check out http://www.kelseyschnell.com/.
