To create the look & feel for this project, I cooperated closely with K-Company's eBI Consultant Ingrid Rennoir for a perfect match between Usabilty and Design. There also were accessibilty constraints that had to be taken into account, as well as the client's request to make all designs fit into the 960 Grid system. So, the look & feel had to be professional and aesthetically pleasing, but how the site would perform later on in terms of Usabilty and Accessibilty was even more important. It's a clear case of design that has to serve a purpose. With a few minor changes the designs were easily accepted by the Minister's cabinet and with my part of the job done, the project has now gone into the development phase.

"Portail Wallon des Entreprises" is a preliminary title. The official launch date is somewhere in 2014. This unfortunately means I am not allowed to show any designs until that time.

Next to the designs for the Flash site, I was also asked to create a static website for each theme parc to serve as a temporary solution while the development of the Flash site was ongoing. For that version I basically did everything, from the usability over the creation of the look & feel to the actual creation of the static HTML/CSS pages, the content upload and the webmastering. This version was online for about half a year. The Flash version of the websites was online for over 4 years and was replaced by a new website in 2011.

I later also took care of skinning the designs to fit the new branding guidelines of Cybertrust.

After a design contest with two other designer from DAD, I was eventually also selected to do the design phase itself. At that point my role became that of Lead Webdesigner with the task of creating a look & feel that could by concensus be accepted by all the decision takers. Since there were many and they often had conflicting ideas and desires, the main challenge was to come up with decent designs that were "somewhere in the middle".

Because of the fruitful collaboration within the team of Accenture I was later also asked to design additional websites for the Belgian Government, such as the website for the 2004 Elections, the Tax-On-Web website for the Ministry of Finance and the website for the launch of the Belgian eID-cards (and the design for the print on the actual eID-cards themselves).
