Project Description

This is another design for a used car dealership; this one was tailored towards the needs of my client (The Car Shop), whereas the other Used Car Dealership design was made as a template and tweaked for the client after design work was finished.

This was my first try using the headings that break out from the page (with the slight 3D effect). I admit I really like the effect. My only concern is the contrast between the dark text and the red banner; using a white text seems to have too much contrast, and the grays in between are even worse.

I spent most of my design time tweaking their logo, as the client really did not want to change it significantly. After that I spend a great deal of time coding the AJAX to pull their inventory from an external website, as there was no way to retrieve the data in simple XML/etc. form.

Note that the live version has some changes due to the client not being able to supply some content until a later date.
