McLaren dealer sites

Mclaren Retailer Sites

  • HTML
  • CSS
  • jQuery and JavaScript
  • Smarty templates

This international network of sites for McLaren car dealers launched spring 2011. I worked on the front end coding of the site, ensuring it would perform consistently cross browser and also on the iPad and integrating it into the CMS. One challenge was finding a video solution that would work on all platforms.

I worked creating a HTML5 and CSS3 version of this Flash dealer locator, to ensure the site was deliverable to iPad users. I was the sole front end developer for the site, and used jQuery animation to mimic the effects found on the Flash version of the site to offer a richer user experience.

This promotion from Mercedes-Benz UK required users to enter their numberplate in order to claim an offer.

The form is styled to make the initial input form look like a numberplate.
