When starting Diamond Hills I was inspired to create a site that had a focus on a beautiful image of the Colorado mountains. To make it the centerpiece of the design I used various transparent sections to still provide contrast to the background while allowing the beautiful colors of the background image to show through. I particularly like the fact that the first slide “breaks” out of the box while still serving a purpose. Diamond Hills was built using HTML5 and CSS3 as well as Jquery for a rotating image slider.
