06 Dec 2010 . . . I LOVE it! Beautiful! Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into my website. Everyone loves it. You are very talented . . . It has genuinely been a pleasure to work with you. —Deb Strain
When artist Deb Strain asked me to design a placeholder page for her retail business, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

While I was working on a design for her new wholesale site, Saltbox Wholesale, Deb sent me dozens of images of her fabric patterns. The fabrics were stunning and elegant. I had used one of them, a vibrant dotted red, for the background on the wholesale site, and I knew I wanted to showcase several different fabrics (in cool blues and greens) on the placeholder page. It would give visitors a good taste of Deb’s designs and might entice them into wanting to come back for more once the actual site was launched.

With CSS and a style switcher script working their magic, visitors can simply click the thumbnail fabric swatches and, voíla . . . larger views of the my client’s beautiful fabrics appear as backgrounds on the page.

UPDATE: This layout is no longer online. In Oct 2105, five years after it was launched, Deb asked me to redesign as a landing page with links to her Etsy shop and wholesale site, Saltbox Wholesale. The style switcher was no longer needed, but you can view a demo of the original page here. On the demo page, click on the thumbnail fabric swatches to see the switcher in action.
