Speaking from Experience - Website Introductory page

In my original live website (found here) the home page was the 1st floor map. Evidently this is an unusual splash/starter page therefore I decided to add an introductory page which would inform the visitor how the site works in terms of navigation and give a brief introduction to the concept/idea behind the interactive map. I have now added this to the live site found here.

As I had used the Leeds College of Art logo, I wanted to give the impression the site was part of the main LCA website therefore I used copy from this to reinforce the amount the college has to offer. As you can see, I kept the design basic to keep the aesthetics similar throughout using Helvetica Neue in varied shades of grey.





About Leeds College of Art

Leeds College of Art offers state-of-the art equipment, and plenty of it: you’ll find it much easier to access what you need, when you need it, than at many other colleges.

An Interactive Map
This interactive map allows you to explore all areas of college which may prove useful during your first year at university - from the studios you work in to the Library and Mac Suites.

You can choose what floor you wish to view by using the links in the header. Once the map has loaded, hover over certain areas and click to find out more. Note: Not all areas provide further information.
