Davey Award Winner- Best Design for a Bank

First Commonwealth Bank is a regional bank based out of Westmoreland County that was starting a serious marketing effort to establish themselves within the greater region. We were contracted to do the website, but rather than hosting it ourselves were asked to produce a series of easy to use templates and devices for our clients. It turned out that they were one of those rare customers that not only appreciated our work, but understood enough design to stay true to the original pieces we provided for them.

Most notable in this site is that it’s built entirely around reusable devices styled in CSS, something that you can’t really see without digging into the code a bit. The project allowed me to really solidify my own methodology for content segmentation and seperating of markup so it would be easy and logcial to other developers.
