Indigenous Issues Forums
The Team: Aaron, Carl, Eric
Indigenous Issues Forums was looking to break out of the box with a visual, kid-friendly site that evokes the natural world through artwork and movement. We built the site around their beautiful logo (hand-drawn by Jim Yellow Hawk) and created a rich seasonal landscape backdrop, hand-drawn by Aaron. We pushed the boundaries of the web browser by building on the open-source MooTools JavaScript library to create a site that moves like Flash but is web-standards compliant, degrades gracefully in older browsers, and is fully accessible to all web clients. Using the powerful and flexible open-source Django web application framework, we provided IIF with an intuitive administration interface for managing text and photo content.
