At some point late last year, my wife was looking for some place to donate clothes to. Shannon has worked at shelters before, so when she took the clothes to Angelheart, it was only natural for her to start volunteering there. Not too long after she became involved with them, I was tapped to rebuild their website.

Once I met the group of people I was going to work with, I knew this was going to be an easy project. They were very open to new design ideas and brought only the best ideas and experiences of their own to the table. Working together, we not only re-designed their site, but their logo as well.

Please visit the site and if you don’t give to Angelheart, give to a children’s shelter in your area. These kids need someone to tell them that they’re loved. Angelheart and shelters like it depend on the generosity of their communities to be able to care for these children and give them hope for the future.

For them being my first client ever, this was a huge project to take on. There was a large amount of content and the amount of pages required a horizontal dropdown menu, which was done using CSS. Some light JavaScript was required to get the dropdown to function in IE6. Most of the code for the menu was learned through Eric Shepherd’s article on Hybrid CSS Dropdowns published by A List Apart.

Take a look around lfot.org and let me know what you think.
