Guidance was a professional services organization and I primarily worked on one large project for Jafra Cosmetics International.
My team and I took Jafra thru a Joint Requirements Definition procedure to launch the project and continued the process for establishing a clear online strategy to address Jafra's unique business requirements.
We worked thru branding priorities developing a very beautiful online look for this international client. The site was designed to be multi-lingual and initially launched in both English and Spanish.
The client represantives were very professional and I enjoyed working them throughout the project even during intense periods caused by an agressive schedule and an intensive work load.
