Mornington Peninsula Qigong
Services Provided
Built with WordPress, now a static site on Netlify. Custom built to Thomas Hoelzer’s design and specifications, highlighting his beautiful photos.
Project Details
Thomas wished to create a website for his Qigong service with the overall effect of “Relax your mind, increase your sense of well being, have greater strength, flexibility, and happiness.”
He had created a version using Wix
but this proved unsatisfactory with limitations that did not include responsive design for tablets and mobiles. The remit was to keep the original ‘look and feel’ in a responsive custom built WordPress site with all the capabilities that WordPress offers, which performs well and looks good on all devices.
Fun Stuff and Challenges
I wanted to take full advantage of the great graphics that Thomas had used as backgrounds. However the CSS
required to do so was made difficult by a lack of support in Android
and iOS
.
In order to keep the full screen static images we used some bespoke coding to override the various operating systems natural tendency to scroll the images with the text.
After a bit of head scratching and much testing I cracked the problems and was able to create what I set out to achieve; a beautiful, clean website showcasing the high quality photos which functions well on mobiles and tablets, as well as full sized screens.
