Responsive Web-design
Eileen Johnson required an updated website to promote her Reiki business. Reiki is an alternative therapy though
not a replacement for orthodox medicine. Many Reiki practitioners focus on clichéd images and colour schemes in
their sites (lotus flowers, colour spectrums, etc: isolating sceptics and those new to Reiki.
Using a simple black & white design and clean lines, I aimed to give the site a clinical appearance, focusing on the information.
I created this clean design using html and CSS, focusing on the current trend for responsive web design. All of the information is kept
on one page, keeping the site light and load times minimal. The navigation buttons simply “jump” the user to the relevant section.
It’s vital for sites to scale automatically to
accomodate tablets, phones and various screens.
As such, the site responds accordingly, an alternative menu panel appears on smaller screens
allowing users to use their fingers on touch
screens to navigate the site.
