When the company acquired the FerryCheap website some time ago, the branding wasn't particularly strong, and neither was the old-fashioned website that used a non-responsive approach. While retaining the basics of what was there originally, the FerryCheap website was redesigned and rebuilt with a maintainable Bootstrap framework, with a mobile first approach and given a fully-responsive layout where the website scales to fit whichever browser or device a customer is using. For brand reinforcement and a bit more personality I introduced illustrations of a cheerful character called 'Sid Seagull' which was an ideal way of incorporating a bit of fun within the FerryCheap brand by using CSS3 animations with Sid Seagull going along the screen from left to right in the header, appearing vertically from behind the navigation to join the logo in the header and going along the screen from left to right in the footer. The website draws from the one code base and was designed and built from scratch using hand-coded HTML and CSS with jQuery and JavaScript.
