CheapTickets

Assignment: find the best method to control and rapidly alter the appearance of the cheaptickets travel site, so that co-branded travel sites can be economically created in support of a new business model. Document and present to management and development group, code and deploy chosen solution.

Challenge: Design a system that allows for maximum flexibility in the navigation apperance while being robust enough for use on a site that gets 3 million page views per day on a variety of platforms.

Solution: a navigation system that can be configured as image-based or as text based navigation as needed. This is executed as a base CSS file and one or more overriding CSS files. With this approach—navigation, logos and other background images as well as the site's color palette can be changed simply by loading an alternate CSS file. [visit cheaptickets.com]
