Pacific Vacation

www.pacificvacation.net

This site was developed to showcase two beautiful vacation villas the client offers for rent in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The primary challenge this project presented was choosing from over 1500 beautiful photos of the villas and surroundings provided by the owner. Once narrowed down to the very best or most descriptive, the photos were showcased in two slideshows, four photo galleries (Screen 2) and a zoom/pan interactive treatment of a satellite shot.

The colors, textures and designs I used in this site were chosen to reflect the villas' beautiful architecture. The villas were designed by Enrique Zozaya, whose style makes use of natural elements and blends modern and traditional Mexican architecture into naturally beautiful landscapes.

This site received some nice reviews during user experience testing:

"Very nice, calming site."

"The site looks great, it definitely got character!"

"Wow, that is a great site.  I liked all the pictures. That's usually the one thing missing from vacation sites, lots of pictures. Oh also, the site was very serene it puts you in the vacation mind set when you're looking at it."

"Sure looks like a nice place to vacation. That's a really nice site."

"Great work. That place looks dreamy. Would love to go there. Thanks for the link. I have added it to my "favorite places."

"It's obvious that you've put a great deal of thought and time into this design. It's the best vacation rental site that I've seen."
