Winter 1998
In 1998, the University of
Washington's Human Interface Technology Laboratory (commonly
known as the HIT Lab)
asked Prospero Design to develop, design, test, and launch a web site that
would showcase the HIT Lab's technological savvy, yet be accessible to
university users with low connection speeds. The new site would emphasize
the Lab's human face, while providing easy access to the great
depth of information, papers, and technologies explored at the HIT Lab.
Prospero designed and built the initial Web presence from conception to
public release.
A
Development Partnership
To build the new HIT Lab site, Prospero held a series of meetings with HIT
Lab personnel to more fully define their goals, messaging and available
branding elements that would convey all the ideas the new site should
showcase. Prospero then worked in partnership with designers at the
University of Washington to create a navigation structure that would serve
all of these goals. Following the approval of a final site design,
Prospero's expert Site Development Lead, Michael Dunlap, created HTML 4.0
compliant code that would load quickly in all contemporary browsers and
would also be viewable in older browsers. Prospero provided ongoing
updates to the site as the work progressed, and assured the HIT Lab of a
picture-perfect launch of their new site, just in time for a major article
in DISCOVER magazine.
Prospero is proud to provide for all of the online needs of the Human
Interface Reasearch Laboratory, and provides ongoing support to this
development partner and longterm client.
