Who needs Powerpoint anyway?
The Hotels team originally approached me with the idea of a static presentation, but in talking to them, I realized that a micro-site would be a better solution.

Ready? Go.
The team needed an informational packet that they could both use to present to potential clients, as well as a leave behind. One of the problems was that they needed an access-controlled way to be able to update information so agents didn’t change things they shouldn’t. They had a short timeline, no budget, and plenty of scope creep.
I got this
In order to build and deploy the site quickly and cheaply, I built it using Ceros, an interactive design tool. The site was built so it could work well as a presentation tool, with large beautiful images, but also as a leave behind with the ability to drill down to get details. This would allow the team to have us update content if needed, and they never lost control of the product.

The scope creep on this project ended up being the largest issue. Ceros projects are built more like a file in Illustrator, so they don’t scale well if you need to change things. Ceros may have been the best tool available, but better project management could have flushed out some of the creep before it became a problem.
