Design Elements Used
Nows the part where we explain what makes STC Group's web site tick. Considering that the target market are generally not very web site literate, NetForge.co.za wanted to opt for a simple design. As per usual we didn't want clutter the site with too many colours, but still wanted a slick professional look. Therefore we opted for the stealy look, with simple colour themes.
We added a sidebar with quick links to the main features of the site: namely news and the gallery. Using our updated NetForge API (v0.5) we implemented slick shiny gallery effects to add to the 'steal' look. Also a non-necessary eye candy Zoom in effects for the gallery.
