The Site: Weather information destination in use across Hearst Broadcasting stations.
http://www.kmbc.com/weather/ (and many others)
The Client: Hearst Broadcasting is a part of the powerful and historic Hearst Corporation. They needed a friendly and useful interface for the weather section of the stations’ sites.
My Role: Part of the small, dedicated development group.
The Technology: The site is built for progressive enhancement and semantics but at the top level the interface is JavaScript driven with AJAX-loaded content and smooth animations. The JavaScript uses the Yahoo User Interface library and build system to provide a consistent experience across browsers and platforms.
The Highlights: Home page tiles are arrangeable by user and saved in a cookie to persist across visits. The tiles and their associated content are built abstractly to allow content owners tight control over presentation and interaction.
