Home Page

I led and completed development on multiple above the fold features on the home page. The hero section pictured was the most simple of these and used a combo box powered by a search service that allows a user to receive type ahead options to select a lake which directs to the mapping page. This experience was tested against its predecessor and yielded metrics that were in line with the business goals of the time.

One challenge on the home page was an authenticated design with a hero and an image preview carousel that operated on x and y axis depending on screen size. I led the research for a new carousel package that was built with flexbox, supported the use of buttons and active indexing, could work on either axis and was as low level as possible. I identified Embla as a suitable choice and was able to easily execute the design. After this work the Emlba carousel was adopted across the site.
