Welcome to the S/V Mandalay Project
Building a clean and professional website is an essential step in showcasing our progress on the remarkable endeavor of transforming the historic s/v Mandalay into a stunning Caribbean cruise ship. This portfolio-style site will serve as a digital hub where visitors can explore various ship systems, complete with 3D models integrated via HTML iframe. The journey begins with an inviting landing page adorned with striking images of tall ships, inviting users to delve deeper into our project.
Designing with a Purpose
The main landing page will intuitively navigate users through a selection of images, graphics, and informative text. Each element links seamlessly to dedicated pages covering specific ship systems. To ensure ease of navigation, a consistent top ribbon will remain present, guiding users as they explore the intricate details of our rebuild. This approach models our commitment to both modern web design and the legacy of the s/v Mandalay.
Engaging User Experience
Incorporating micro-interactions will enhance the experience further. Buttons, headers, and scrollable ribbons will react dynamically to user input, while content will animate in, captivating visitors as they engage with our site. Additionally, a blog will provide periodic updates on our progress, accompanied by an about page with contact features, including an embedded map and contact form. To optimize functionality, several plugins such as AIOSEO, WPForms, and Cloudflare will be leveraged, ensuring a seamless interface. Join us on this remarkable adventure as we revitalize the proud heritage of the s/v Mandalay!
