Hello,
I found your pieces site http://www.species-in-pieces.com/# when I was looking for site examples for a design concept, I had for our security guard company.... I'm an outside the box type creative thinker and I love the pieces concept - I love sites that are entirely above the fold and I like the idea of mixing not just graphic design but 3D animation into a website like you are telling a story..
This is going to be long and hopefully not too confusing lol pi
The main page when you first get to the side will be almost fully animated it will show a building meant to look like our headquarters with a palm springs California skyline in the back I even want subtle things like maybe a plane flies in the sky or birds if you wait long enough....
when the page first loads and shows the background the skyline is visible but the building looks a little dark on the outside.... our mascot (Sam Rock) drive the patrol car from the right off screen and parks in front, gets out you hear his steps and him whistling as he walks to the left in front of car to the left front of building and turns on the lights you here that neon signs buzz sound start up and the O'Linn logo sign lights up and another sign with the phone number lights up as well... he walks over to the lower right side of the building --- he kind of acts like he hears something "what was that" shines his light on the side of the building turns around and says oh... then starts the scene that exists currently on our site here ---olinnsecurityinc.com (click play) when the character says "number listed up there" he points to lit number sign then starts to walk towards car and says or fill out our security request form when he says that you see it illuminated with a window sign that is clickable when clicked it pops up a center request form to fill out. he finishes his lines as he is getting in the car and drives off screen to the left.... you are left with just the scene background of the building menu tabs (somewhere that the fit nicely) and you then navigate to your first page...
Here is my idea… the “cover page” for the following pages will be animated done by 3D company
- About O’Linn
- Our Services
- Testimonials
- Contact
On the About O’Linn page you will have a cool background maybe the office and skyline scene but with signs lit up on the office windows to choose from the following
Who We Are
Our Founder
Team
Gallery
Each of those above pages will operate just like pieces
When you open any of the above options from the about page the menu tabs on the right scroll to only the sub pages
Who we are, Our Founder, Team, Gallery
and each of those pages has a button that says. “Back to About” when you are on the about page there needs to be a way to navigate to services, testimonials, contact, home
The content that is displayed for Who We Are will be in the middle of the page with maybe just a transparent call out box with text in the middle and maybe some bullet points to other text as long as it fits above fold in the middle - the “what’s the threat button” on the side between the menu I think might be hard for people to instinctively know to click so I want that to be a “Dive Deeper” button and maybe more in the middle since we don’t need that text in the middle under the animal. Dive deeper will be that pop up that has maybe more information on the company that you can read / scroll or watch a video.
Same for Our Founder page
Team will be Photo/Name/Tile with bio that functions like a transparent slider in the center 1 person per slide
Kim O'Linn Owner
Jason Morris VP
Adam Dean Director
Chief Operating Officer (coming soon)
Blanca Duck HR/Billing
Iliana Morris Executive Assistant
Video message pop up feature that will be a button under the bio.. contact icons present for each person on their “slide” like an interactive business card
Gallery will be a center slider , 1 image at a time like the pieces animals. (For now) might change that later.
- Our Services will have some sort of animation maybe the palm springs skyline with maybe large billboard street signs to choose a service option when you click one the screen goes black and the content pops up in the middle like when you click for more info on the animal in pieces ( since this can have more text maybe it's scrollable down or the content is like transparent text slides) also maybe a video option that explains the particular service really direct in about 30 seconds. Each service page would function the same.
- Testimonials maybe a similar page to services but with client logos on the signs and then it opens a testimonial written and or video.
Contact ---- need a new and fun way to set up a contact page
I currently have a company making the character and rigging him now but open to someone else doing again if needed.
