Goal

Build a unique and friendly Web site to support a strategic mayoral initiative.

Scope of Work

Greenprint Denver is an exciting, long-term initiative of the Denver Mayor's Office to integrate environmental impact considerations into the city's programs and policies and reduce citywide greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement.

As a citywide initiative with deep roots in the metro area residential and business communities, project partners sought a nontraditional design that would reflect and reinforce concepts outlined by the initiative, increase public awareness about sustainable practices, and give a distinctively inviting feel.

I designed the site using a rich, earthy color palette and developed it with an advanced, standards-compliant, and accessible table-free XHTML and CSS layout. The site launched on schedule on July 12, 2006 for Mayor John W. Hickenlooper's annual State of the City Address.
