MGZN
Architecture

Overview

I designed a new site concept for MGZN Architecture that showed their work in a fresh, modern aesthetic, focused on imagery to showcase the firm’s unique designs. Using my knowledge of Wordpress, Javascript as well as HTML, CSS, PHP, I was able to create a site that was responsive, user friendly, and optimized for speed.

Design

As MGZN's brand is minimalist and modern I sought to create a design that was the same, focusing on imagery while added slight design elements like the menu hover selection that fit with the brand.

Because MGZN needed to show off their work through photographs and illustrations it necessitated heavy emphasis on imagery. The main page highlights a rotating selection of work with the slider as does the Services page that categorizes works into different applications.

Development

Using PHP I implemented dynamic menus and headers for code optimization and flexibility. I also employed Javascript for the custom hover effects and CSS for the custom background slider. The site is fully responsive incorporating mobile, tablet, and desktop sizes. Content pages include a gallery of portfolio work, blog, about page, and contact page.
