Build time: 50 hours

One of our more prestigious full site builds, the bold design and highly engaging layouts packs an impact. The project is highly data driven with a focus on projects, rich project galleries and testimonials from related clients and architects.

• Large streaming video hero – streaming allows high quality video without filling up the relatively small hosting storage size and doesn’t affect the page load speed.
• Smooth transitions on page elements to fade in and move into position – multiple elements on each page fading into view with an additional transformation to gently slide it into place as it comes into the browser window view

As with all Egg Design’s work, images are large, prevalent and demand a crisp look, requiring an optimisation of around 92% quality compression. The quality of content is presented on pages with a theatrical flourish: slide up or slide horizontally into place.

Custom Plugins

Media Releases – Similar in content and functionality to webcasts, the media section allows site admins to link to external websites or upload pdf articles along with a title and small descriptive excerpt.

Projects – Project data is a key driver on Thomas Building. Projects have rich relational connections to Clients, Locations, Architects and Sectors as well as any Testimonials from the testimonials plugin. The administration of projects is made easy by some customisation in the back end to add the featured image thumbnail for easy recognition as well as key metrics such as if the project is a featured project and/or has any awards.

Editing an individual project is highly visual making best use of WordPress’ Gutenberg block layout.

Testimonials – Simplified input interface allows site administrators to enter the expected title, quote image, publish date and the full quote text in rich text markup. Additional customisations allow for a pull-out quote, position, related Architect and Project
