New Web Project: The Young Mansion

After finally getting my butt in gear and finishing up a simple Flash site for my sister's boyfriend's mother (6 degrees, I know) and her customized school-spirit shoe business, ItsaShoeThing.com, I'm so ready for a new project.

Right on cue comes a new client (how fun for me to be able to say "client!" Makes me feel very legit.). The historic Joseph Young house in Hollywood, my hometown, is up for sale again and the homeowners just happened to have their kids pictures taken by my sister. In turn, they saw her site, loved it, and hired me to build something similar to showcase their home. The house has real estate listings on the Web with a few pictures, but what he and I have in mind is something much more visual, focusing on the tiny architectural details that are tucked in every corner of that house that no one would notice from any real estate site.So far my dad and sister met with the realtor and took some great shots of the place. My job starts now, and I'll keep my progress up to date here. Big props to my sister Courtney, we're really working as a team on this and it wouldn't be happening without her help. I'm really honored in a way that little ol' ME got scooped up to build this thing. I just hope my work stands up to the challenge!
