RRMM Architects • Project & UX Lead• www.rrmm.com

About

RRMM is an architecture firm with multiple locations in Virginia. They were looking for a website with pizzazz that would be easy to maintain.

Responsibilities:

Project Lead
Information Architecture
Client Relations

Portfolio

RRMM was looking for an innovative way to show off their work. We created an interface that intersects pictures on the horizontal and text on the vertical. Clicking the title or picture takes you to great detail about the particular project.

Details

Each project has a variable number of images as well as written content. We used the horizontal scrolling theme to allow the user to scroll through the images.

Content

We created templates for various content pages and included a "Did you know?" widget that randomly showed tips about building green.

People

People drive the award winning work. This screen allows visitors to the site to become acquainted with members of the RRMM team.

Behind the Scenes

Sitemap
The overall information architecture for this site was quite simple. We used WordPress as a CMS backend and made additional admin screens to support the uploading images into the Flash portfolio section.

Abstracts
I created multiple abstracts to get an idea of scale between projects the client had done. We had to build something that would support 1 to 10 images and do so gracefully. We also had to accommodate varying project desciptions and annotations.

Progress
As we finished and received signoff on comps, I placed them back into a simplified site map and passed it on to the client as a way for them to see how the site would be constructed.

Ensuring Acceptance
The client was new to using a CMS. I created documentation that showed the staff how to make changes and updates to their site. Doing not only empowers the administrators, but it maintains site integrity over time.
