EmpireDirect.co.uk Christmas Gift Finder

Written by Dave Sellers

20 Nov 2008 - EmpireDirect.co.uk's christmas gift finder page, showing the find a gift function, and the daily advent calendar offer.

This feature page was created for the Christmas gift finder on the EmpireDirect.co.uk website.

With this design I didn't want to just put generic Christmas things on it like baubles and Christmas trees. The design I went for is a more abstract design using a nice Christmassy red along with white.

Along with that design at the top of the page there needed to be a 'Christmas Countdown' counting down to christmas day. The way this was achieved was by created an image for each separate day and using ASP to switch the image everyday.

Underneath the top part of the page it was required that there would be some way of showing the special daily advent calendar offer. So I put together an advent calendar and used the open door to display the current offer.
