The Knickerbocker Group
Website Redesign + Custom Development
Spring 2011 | Pica Design, LLC.

Website by Pica Design. In-house, I managed the website code development. The primary goal of this website redesign was to present The Knickerbocker Group on the web in the same caliber as the work they craft. Some of our inspirational adjectives included: High-end, Vibrant, Elegant, and Intuitive.
For the website, we created a gesture-based content carousel as a jQuery plugin, and driven by a WordPress theme. -
The Knickerbocker Group staff can manage all aspects of the website, including content for galleries, carousels, and their blog. The website uses semantic markup, clean code, and is tailored under-the-hood for a wide range of browsers and computers. -
The carousel plugin included button navigation, touch dragging, and slider scrubbing. The carousel is optimized for sliding large images smoothly and naturally with gesture-based dragging on handheld and tablet devices – and on older computers.
