Building a Professional Site for the Rebirth of the Historic S/V Mandalay

Welcome to Our Journey

As we embark on the ambitious project of transforming the historic s/v Mandalay into a luxurious Caribbean cruise ship, we are excited to share our progress with you. This blog serves a dual purpose: it will chronicle the meticulous efforts required for the restoration and offer a glimpse into our innovative approach. Picture this as a digital vessel navigating through our ship’s systems, all geared towards achieving a clean, professional site dedicated to our mission.

Portfolio Layout for Ship Systems

Our website adopts a portfolio layout that showcases detailed pages for each ship system involved in the reconstruction. Each page integrates an interactive 3D model via an HTML iframe, allowing visitors to explore the Mandalay’s intricate components. By utilizing this technique, we ensure that each section is not only informative but also engaging, inviting maritime enthusiasts and potential clients to delve deeper into the intricate workings of the ship.

Enhancing User Experience with Micro-Interactions

To further enhance the user experience, our site will feature micro-interactions. These will include buttons, headers, ribbons, and loaders that react dynamically to cursor movements and scrolling. As users navigate through the site, content will elegantly animate in, creating a captivating experience reminiscent of the graceful sway of a tall ship in Caribbean waters. Our landing page will act as a welcome gate, adorned with historic tall-ship graphics that lead visitors to an organized navigation ribbon.

In addition, we’ll maintain transparency through a blog that features periodic updates on our progress, along with an about page incorporating contact features. To kick-start this initiative, we’re implementing crucial plugins such as AIOSEO, WPForms, and Cloudflare to ensure optimal performance and communication. Join us on this exciting voyage as we breathe new life into the s/v Mandalay!
