Luster Custom Homes:
the story:
Luster Custom Homes builds and constructs fabulous custom homes here in the state of Arizona. Their integrity, honesty, and attention to detail in their homes required a website that did just the same. We collaborated with Crosby/Wright to develop the Luster Custom Homes website because of our impeccable ability to create beautiful, pixel-perfect web pages from any static design.
By incorporating an interactive and fun portfolio gallery, Luster is able to show-off their picturesque homes to any prospective home buyer or builder who is searching for that one-of-a-kind home. In addition to the gallery, we provided them with a video player, AJAX, and social media integration to further extend the interactivity and usability of the site.
Website Features: The following custom options were requested by our client.

Luster's portfolio gallery was built to incorporate a number of different features per their request. The portfolio is fully scalable, which means the principals over at Luster can add in as many projects as they deem fit for their site. It also gives them an area to list the location of the project, the name of the project, an unlimited amount of pictures, and most importantly, an area for a brief testimonial from their client; the owners of these beautiful homes.
video player
Luster's video player uses a technology known as AJAX. AJAX is a programming technique which essentially allows developers to load in website content and data "behind the scenes." This way, developers can decrease load times and browser lag when serving up large amounts of content, and in-turn creating a more inviting user-experience for you (the website viewer).

The contact form in the footer that is viewable on each page also utilizes this technology to submit the form, hide it, and the present the user with a confirmation message letting them know their request has been successfully submitted.
