Design of informational web site
Apr 2002

Trinity Church is an architectural landmark in Boston. Even though the project was less technical than I usually take on, its stature and visual potential made it appealing.

CHALLENGE
Trinity wanted a site that would make information easily to find for parishioners. But they also wanted the site to attract visitors interested in the building and architecture rather than worship services.

SOLUTION
The Trinity building is so visually striking, inside and out, that I wanted to make its presence felt in the web site. The home page uses tans and a strong red, which come from the building's exterior and interior coloring. Inside, each section has a unique color and texture, and all of these textures are drawn from actual motifs used in the interior decor of Trinity. (see detail of textures)

For ease of navigation, the top panel presents the entire site through rollovers. However, because the structure was kept simple, users are given a manageable number of choices and the panel is easier to use than pop-up menus.

MY ROLE
All screen design and information architecture
