This site was done with Dreamco.

Saddlebrooke is a country club set North of Tucson; it's a little bit of paradise. So I hear, anyway - I haven't been there (my boss Greg has).

Their website had to get a certain amount of class across, and thankfully they had a great photo of the front ready to go. Web design is always much easier when you have a great image to build around. I used it for most of the color scheme, modified a photo that I had taken of a sunrise to look like an early evening photo (the top background).

The front text was written by Dreamco's Jeremy, and I learned a lot about search engine optimization during this project, in particular about how the front text will help returns in Google.

The accompanying website, which is for Saddlebrooke's center for performing arts, was a lot of fun to do. Saddlebrooke had to be pretty practical: it contains their wedding information, menus for events and things like that.

The Performing Arts Center could be a bit more artsy, and naturally it took a more artsy vibe. To be sure that the retirement-age target market would be happy, I drew some inspiration from Sullivan's steakhouse here in Tucson for its old-school leather coloring.
