Hi all, I've been lurking on this website for a while, and its helped me a lot, so i decided today to finally register and join the discussion.
About 2 months ago I landed a job... finally. Its as the "marketing/mechanical drafting/design person" for a medium sized forklift attachments manufacturing company. My background is in autocad/architecture, and some graphic design. So this is a bit of a switch.
Ive basically taken charge of redesigning the image of the company, as well as the technical drafting sort of details. Ive designed the logo, the website, and done all the renderings and 3d modeling of the equipment... its been a busy couple months.
I had never done any web design before this job, but it was in major need of help. I spent a couple weeks trying to find an easy way out with web design programs, and templates and what not, but i just couldn't get what i wanted. So I gave up, got notepad++, and started learning html and css.
This is the result:
Home Page
Product Page (where the majority of my efforts lie)
Ive made everything you see on the site, from the rendered pictures, to logo and banners, to the PDF catalog pages at the end. (only Booms and Carpet and Coil Rams are done)
Let me know what you think. I'm used to having feedback on my work, but i'm working in a bit of a vacuum here, so any feedback would be appreciated.
Ive attached one of our old brochures to give you an idea of our old style, and the major changes ive made...
