VivienneWestwood.com

A content-managed website for this international fashion house

When: 2002
Role: Designer, developer
Stack: Flash
Outcome: Remained online for about six years technically unchanged.

I guess my big break on the web came when at 3form we got commissioned to build Vivienne Westwood's website. This was at a time when the company was quite literally two of us crammed into the back room of a shared house where we lived with two other people. A lovely flash-only site with a little CMS for them to update photos and manage the layout of the site. Essentially we made it a bit too good because we didn't get to bill them for anything ongoing and it remained online for about six years technically unchanged.
