Uintah Recreation District

I was not hired to do a redesign of this site.  In fact, I’m still not sure anyone affiliated with the Uintah Recreation District even knows that I spent time mocking this up.  The Uintah Recreation District now has a new site, one that appears to have been purchased from a turn-key, cookie-cutter site builder.  Sad.

When I created my design, visiting the then-current site was truly a miserable experience.  This redesign felt like a vast improvement to me.  I rebuilt the logo from scratch, with a slightly brighter sunburst.  The navigation was inspired by the navigation designed and coded by Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain for his ExpressionEngine website redesign.  I was super-impressed at how nicely his design presented various sub-navigation items.  I borrowed heavily from his work and I think he should have credit, even though this design is not live on the web. 

I am hosting a scaled-down version of the page so you can experience the navigation first-hand.  I’ve removed the functioning search box, since there are no internal pages to be searched.
